Obtain the Devkit

The Devkit enables desktop development and testing of the app. The development platform can be Windows, Mac or Linux. All the tools mentioned here support cross-platform development. Click on the Devkit button for it to be emailed to the registered email.

The Devkit ships with the SSH keys necessary to accesses to the remote app environment. The SSH keys are re-issued after each deployment update. Therefore the development task becomes easier if the Devkit was obtained after the app structure and the development team has been set up.

Pre-requisites

  • Git version 2.10 or higher. The Devkit is designed to keep all work in a single folder. The SSH keys are maintained in the local folder for checking out the remote repository. Removing the folder removes all work related to the development. This allows for a clean development environment that makes the least impact on the system. This Git version provides support for local SSH keys.
