# I see "Request to install" when I try to Slack OAuth
When trying to Slack OAuth, you may encounter a "Request to install" screen as shown below. This means that the DX Slack App has not been pre-approved by a Slack workspace admin.

To proceed, click the "Request to install" button to submit the request to your workspace admin. This will create an app approval request as described in [Manage app approval for your workspace](https://slack.com/help/articles/222386767-Manage-app-approval-for-your-workspace). Then, one of your workspace admins must approve the DX app as shown below:
