Setting up a Sedona development environment

If you plan to develop Sedona software, additional files and folders for this purpose are included in the officially released Sedona Framework TXS-1.2 Bundle file. The Sedona Installer does not automatically install these files; you must extract them manually.

Typically, you would set up your development environment separate from your Workbench installation, for example, C:\sedonadev. Conduct all of your Sedona software development in this development environment. When ready, you can test any newly developed kit in your Workbench installation. There is no need to package the kit in a bundle or .zip file; use the Sedona Installer in your Workbench installation to import the kit you have created.

Installing a Sedona development environment

This procedure describes extracting the Sedona Open Source .zip archive to use in Sedona software development. The development environment should be separate from your Workbench ins tallation

  1. Open the downloaded Sedona Framework TXS-1.2 Bundle file in any zip application, and extract the contents of the sedona/ folder of the archive to your development home location, for example, [sedonadev].

    Once the extraction is complete, you will find the file src.zip, as shown in Figure 12 in your development home location. This is an archive file containing the Sedona Open Source.

  2. Extract the contents of the src.zip archive to the [sedonadev]/src/ if you wish to view or modify the Sedona open source code.

    If you are new to Sedona development, refer to the browser-based Sedona development documentation included in the extracted sedona folder. To access the documentation, open sedona/doc/index.html in any browser, as shown in Figure 13.
