Setup

Prerequisites

We try to make it as simple as possible for you. However, there are some minimal prerequesites:

  • You need to have a tool to extract *.tar.gz files (tar and gzip). On Windows use 7zip. On all other platforms this comes out of the box.

  • You need to have git and curl installed.

    • On Windows all you need is download and install git for windows. This also ships with bash and curl.

    • On Linux you might need to install the above tools in case they are not present (e.g. sudo apt-get install git curl or yum install git-core curl)

    • On MacOS all you need is download and install git for mac.

Download

Releases of devon-ide are published to maven central. You can download them from here.

Install

Create a central folder like C:\projects or /projects. Inside this folder create a sub-folder for your new project such as my-project and extract the contents of the downloaded archive (devon-ide-scripts-*.tar.gz) into this new folder. Run the command setup in this folder (on windows just double click setup.bat). That’s all. To get started read the usage.

Uninstall

To "uninstall" your devon-ide you only need to call the following command:

devon ide uninstall

Then you can delete the devon-ide top-level folder(s) (${DEVON_IDE_HOME}).

The devon-ide is designed to be not invasive to your operating system and computer. Therefore it is not "installed" into your system in a classical way. Instead you just create a folder and extract the downloaded archive to it. Only specific prerequisites like git have to be installed regularly by you in advance. All other software resists just locally inside the folder of your devon-ide. However, there are the following excuses (what is reverted by devon ide uninstall):

  • The devon command is copied to your home directory (~/.devon/devon)

  • The devon alias is added to your shell config (~/.bashrc and ~/.zshrc, search for alias devon="source ~/.devon/devon").

  • On Windows the devon.bat command is copied to your home directory (%USERPROFILE%\scripts\devon.bat)

  • On Windows this %USERPROFILE%\scripts directory is added to the PATH of your user.

  • The devon-ide will download third party software to your ~/Downloads folder to reduce redundant storage.
