The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a recording medium.

Description of the Related Art

It is possible to additionally install an application to an information processing apparatus such as an image forming apparatus.

Furthermore, there is a case where such a newly added application uses new setting values. In such a case, information of the name indicating a setting item of a setting value to be used for executing an additional function and information related to a setting value entered as a setting item are obtained from a plug-in program by the information processing apparatus, so that a screen for selecting a setting item and a screen for entering a setting value are configured.

However, in the conventional methods, it has not been possible for the user to provide an operation (hereinafter referred to as the “user operation”) for an instruction for execution of an application on a setting screen.

SUMMARY

Example embodiments include an information processing apparatus including: a memory that stores control information to be utilized for displaying a setting screen on which entry of a setting value for an application added to the information processing apparatus is received; and circuitry to receive a user operation related to execution of the application on the setting screen and perform processing for installing the application.
