Trailhead Question - issues downloading unmanaged packages.
Hi,
I'm attempting the following module, where you need to install an unmanaged package.
https://trailhead.salesforce.com/modules/lightning_app_builder/units/lightning_app_builder_custom_comps
I have followed the following help article's steps exactly
https://force.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/2710899-installing-a-package-or-app-to-complete-a-trailhead-challenge?b_id=13478
However, the unmanaged package is still being installed to my overall Salesforce instance, NOT to my "Trailhead Playground".
Given the challenge checks against the Playground, it is impossible currently to complete the challenge.
Is this a common problem & if so how do I solve it?
Thanks,
Matt

May I suggest you please double check with below steps which worked like a charm for me.
- Log In to trail head with your developer org username and password.
- Scroll your page to the bottom and click on option of which hands on org do you want to perform(trail head playground or developer edition account)
- Enter the information in all required fields and click on continue
- Now you can come to the bottom of the page and see that your trailhead playground is spinning up.
- Once the spinning is done your trailhead playground has been set up as your hands on org and check challenge button will be activated where trailhead will verify all your work done.
- Now if you click on the link on the unmanaged package link then it gets installed in the trailhead playground but not in the developer edition account.
- Make sure you have all necessary permissions checked before installing the package.
Hope this helps.Please mark this as solved if my reply was helpful so that it gets removed from the unanswered queue which results in helping others who are encountering a similar issue.

I'm afraid I followed the instructions exactly (all in a Chrome incognito mode) and the unmanaged package is still installed NOT to my trailhead, but to my actual Salesforce instance. So, the problem still remains. When the package goes to install it doesn't ask me for any credentials, unlike trails where you go via the AppExchange in the incognito mode. Essentially I believe, somewhere along the process for unmanaged packages it's pulling in my "normal" credentials therefore routing the installation to the wrong place.
What do you advise?
Thanks,
Matt
- I noticed I was logged in already as my "core" credentials.
- Logged out, then logged in using my Trailhead credentials.
- Found this challenge and tried to install the unmanaged package
- It worked
Might be worth changing your "incognito" instructions to make it clear to users that for both AppExchange and "unmanaged packages" to really double check that you're not previously logged into AppExchange using your core credentials, as it's not overly clear whether this applies to just apps from the AppExchange, when actually it's to both these and the unmanaged packages...!Thanks for all your help Nagendra...!
I think, I might have a solution for you, follow the steps below:
I found the right way to install Unmanged packge in our Trailhead playground
Launch your Trailhead Playground SEE URL https://XXXXXXXXXXXXX-445583-dev-ed.my.salesforce.com/01W7F0000XpHf
i the same URL Delete bolded And Insted Paste this /packagingSetupUI/ipLanding.app?apvId=04t46000001Zch4
then your URL looks like this https://XXXXXXXXXXXXX-445583-dev-ed.my.salesforce.com/packagingSetupUI/ipLanding.app?apvId=04t46000001Zch4
I lost 3 hours on that tonight :(
So I'm a complete newbie to Salesforce (studying for first sys admin exam) and I was having the same problem; unmanaged package installing in the dev.org instead of TP. I tried Anupam Singhal's solution ie replacing dev.org URL with the TP URL but still package was installing in the dev.org. My core credentials were the same as the TP login credentials. So I managed to install the package into the TP by logging into the TP through it's own username and password obtained by following instructions shown here
https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/modules/trailhead_playground_management/units/get-your-trailhead-playground-username-and-password.
Punchline: login to the TP via it's username and password before installing package
Thanks all
This suggestion from you (09/02/2018) was so helpful and it ultimately worked for me, after having tried this unmanaged package installation for many hours across several days. The earlier discussions in this thread about the URL difference between the main developer org and the new TP site were also very helpful and they certainly pointed me to the right direction. The challenge was that it took me some failed attempts and some soul searching to realize that the installation didn't automatic go to the new TP site (and I wouldn't be able to Install the sample data from the Data Import tab). The Superbadge instructions mention the need to create a new TP and use incognito - they were both critical, but the issue of URL separation and the unmanaged package not automatically goinh to the right URL was key and it is something most users may not immedately realize. So the real challenge is that many people needing this very assistance shown here might not get to this informative thread and they might just give up on this superbadge.
Thanks to all on this thread.
