Install JDK and gradle
You will need a laptop or desktop with Linux, MacOS or Windows with Windows subsystem for Linux) with at least the following software installed:
Oracle JDK or OpenJDK 8, 9, 11 or 17
gradle 5, 6 or 7 and groovy which can be installed using SDKMAN
git command line tools
Visual Studio Code or any other programming editor / IDE of your choice
Of course, a windows machine with a Linux VM on top will do as well.
Install Pinuts Dev Tools / Scripts
Clone the following git repository:
git clone https://gitext.pinuts.de/um-public/devtools.git ~/.pinuts-devtools
... and include the ~/.pinuts-devtools/bin/ directory in your $PATH variable. There is a helper script to do just that in case you are using bash:
(cd ~/.pinuts-devtools && make bash)
Access to Pinuts maven repository
After having received your credentials for the Pinuts maven repository you should set some environment variables; e.g. in your ~/.bashrc file:
export PINUTS_MAVENREPO_USERNAME=<access-key-id> export PINUTS_MAVENREPO_PASSWORD=<secret-value>
umkickstarter
The freshly installed shell script ~/.pinuts-devtools/bin/umkickstarter creates a new directory (default: ./umkickstarter) and prepares the directory and file structure needed to start developing a new UM project:
umkickstarter my-um-app
Optionally you can pass the package name of an UM plugin that should be scaffolded as well:
umkickstarter my-um-app --name acme.myumapp
License
After having received your development UM license, copy the file to env/devel/cmsbs-conf/cmsbs.license.
