Windows installation
The purpose of this section is to guide you to setup your development environment on a windows platform.
There is a great documentation on nativescript.org :
Start by reading this documentation. Then check that you are running on the correct platform : you must have at least a windows 7.1.
nativescript.org provides a gem for automatic installation on the Windows platform. This gem is a PowerShell script that does almost everything for you:
@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin
Notice the url of the PowerShell script :
https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1
Open this url in your navigator to explore the content of this script.
What this script does is a three steps installation process:
- Automatic installation of Chocolatey;
- Automatic installation of GoogleChromeStandaloneEnterprise.msi;
- Automatic installation of JDK and Android SDK.
If you want to go the easy way then just follow every steps in NativeScript Advanced Setup: Windows.
