On this page you can find everything needed to get up and running with your first app developed for Scifeon.

Before you begin

To complete this tutorial, you'll need the following:

• Your favourite IDE or text editor - we recommend Visual Studio Code
• Port 5000 free on your system
• NodeJS
• Git for versioning code
• The Scifeon CLI tool

Setting up your development environment

1. Install NodeJS

1. Download NodeJS - we recommend the latest version, but LTS will suffice
2. Install NodeJS on your computer
3. Verify that NodeJS and NPM has been installed by opening a Command Prompt (+R, type cmd and press Enter) and enter node -v and npm -v. You should see something similar to this:

2. Install the Scifeon CLI

1. Open a Command Prompt (on Windows: +R, type cmd and press Enter) and type npm install @scifeon/sdk -g and press Enter.
2. Verify that Scifeon CLI is install by entering scifeon-cli -v. You should see something similar to this:

C:\Users\User>scifeon-cli -v
