Getting Started

To get started, use one of the provided sample sets. These are available for setup as the next steps through this get started guide.

There are a few different sets, pick the one that is closest to your needs, and follow the steps highlighted below to get started.

To get started

1. Run the Get Started Guide from the start page when opening the App.
   When the app starts, it shows options for opening an existing project folder, or to run the get started guide. To get started, run the get started guide.
2. Define the folder structure for the project.
   Create a new folder somewhere and use that as the base folder that is opened through the browser. This is normally part of a repository, such as a git folder associated with the project, and used for other development work and artifact storage, however any local folder will do. Note that it must be a folder that the browser is allowed to open.
   Each metadata object type is stored in it’s own folder. Go with the defaults, or change them to match the project needs. A folder can be nested using / to separate the levels.
3. Open the root folder from step 1 in the app.
   In the next step, use the open button and navigate to the folder. Once the folder is selected and opened, the browser will ask for permissions to read and write to the folder. This is needed so that the app can do what it does. This access is strictly limited to the selected folder by the browser security mechanisms.
4. Pick the sample set for the project creation.
   The guide can be run as many times as needed, and can create the output in any new folder as needed. So, if there is a need to explore different options, just start over with a new sample in a new folder.
5. The app will create all the files in the folder, and load them into the app.
   Once the file creation finishes the app is ready to use with the newly created project.
