This guide will walk you through the essential steps to set up your development environment for building applications with our platform. A well-configured environment is crucial for efficient development and debugging.
Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:
The Core SDK provides the fundamental tools and libraries needed for development. Download the latest version from the SDK Downloads page.
Follow the installation instructions specific to your operating system. After installation, verify the installation by opening a new terminal or command prompt and running:
your-sdk --versionYou should see the installed SDK version printed to the console.
Create a dedicated directory for your projects. It's recommended to keep all your project-related files organized within this workspace.
Example:
mkdir ~/my-msdn-projects
cd ~/my-msdn-projectsTo start a new project, use the SDK's command-line interface (CLI). Navigate to your workspace and run:
your-sdk create project my-new-app
cd my-new-appThis command will create a new project directory named my-new-app with a basic project structure and necessary configuration files.
Always ensure you are using the latest stable version of the SDK. Check the Release Notes for updates and new features.
To enhance your coding experience, consider installing extensions or plugins for your code editor that provide syntax highlighting, IntelliSense, and debugging capabilities for our platform's languages and frameworks.
Refer to the Editor Extensions page for specific recommendations.
Once your environment is set up, you're ready to start building! Here are some resources to help you on your journey:
