2.       Once the SharePoint setup is done we can navigate to the Admin center by selecting the “Admin” tile on the logged in page.

3.       Once you are inside the Admin page you can open the sahrepoint admin area by selecting the “SharePoint” under “Admin Centres” in the left pane.

Or you can directly access the SharePoint Admin Center by accessing the below URL : https://{tenant}-admin.sharepoint.com

4.       Once we are inside the SharePoint Admin Center the next step will be create an App Catalog, click on the link “app” on the left panel and select the “app catalog” from the new page.

5.       This will prompt an option to create a new app catalog or use an existing app catalog. If you are already having an app catalog you can proceed to select the second option provide the URL for the same. Here I will be setting up a new app catalog.

6.        In the next window the app catalog site Title and the web URL needs to be provided along with the administrator details. My window will look like this, I have used “myApps” suffix for my app catalog site.

Clicking OK will create the app catalog in 1 to 15 minutes depending on the server details. The site can be seen in the Sharepoint Admin Center.
