I'm experiencing a 404 error when trying to install the Railway GitHub app. I signed up today via GitHub and was prompted to install the Railway app while connecting my GitHub repo. The installation page opens, but clicking "Install" redirects me to a GitHub 404 page.

Go to GitHub settings under 'Applications' to check for a pending installation.
Also try disconnecting your GitHub account from Railway and reconnecting it in a new, clean browser session

Can you access your GitHub account profile? Is your project pushed to GitHub repo?
I think your GitHub account has been flagged. You have to contact GitHub support for that.

The 404 Page Not Found is being served by GitHub's servers, not Railway's. Railway successfully redirected you to GitHub to grant permissions.
You can also bypass it through railway CLI using railway up command

How will it give access to github repos?

Tried reinstall github app myself and everything works as expected, when you configure github from account settings or when you creating a new service, it should redirect to https://github.com/apps/railway-app/installations/new
You just missed the /new parameter at the end of the url

bypassing the GitHub App integration entirely by using the Railway CLI pushes your code directly to the platform
-
Install the CLI:
npm i -g @railway/cli (via your package manager).
-
Authenticate via your terminal:
railway login (use your email to log in).
-
Initialize your project:
railway link (select your current Railway project).
-
Deploy directly from your local directory:
railway up.

From where on the dashboard you're trying to configure the github app? Is it from the account settings? or from the project canvas? I've tried both but didn't found the 404 error, try force reload the dashboard and try again

I did that too and it works perfectly fine with me also.
He mentioned that he signed up today on github. Then maybe his account got flagged by hitting automated anti-spam restrictions for brand-new accounts on GitHub. If this is the case, contacting GitHub support or using railway cli are the only options here.
