Creating XMLUI Apps

Creating XMLUI Apps

  1. Unless already installed, set up Node.js on your machine (https://nodejs.org/en (opens in a new tab)).
  2. Download the XMLUI starter app.
  3. Unzip the downloaded zip file.
  4. Start a command prompt and select the unzipped folder as the current working directory
  5. Execute start.bat (Windows), or ./start.sh (MacOs, Linux), or run npx -y http-server -o (any platform)

For example, if your unzipped folder is in C:\Users\Mary\work\xmlui-starter (Windows), use these commands:

cd C:\Users\Mary\work\xmlui-starter
start.bat

The XMLUI starter app creates a small app. In step 2, download the empty XMLUI app to create an empty app.

The empty app will display some text to let you be sure that the app works.
