Lianja App Builder Cloud Developer Edition for macOS

Details

Description

This software runs on macOS 11 (Big Sur) and above and requires a Lianja v9 License Key.

The Lianja Platform installer includes the Lianja App Builder, Lianja App Center (desktop client), Lianja Server (Lianja Cloud Server and Lianja SQL Server for development and testing) and Lianja ODBC Driver.

INSTALL LIANJA PLATFORM

Double click on the downloaded .pkg filename.

==========

The following are optional requirements if you want to build Electron apps or want to use TypeScript as a scripting language.

==========

Open up a Terminal window (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal).

INSTALL HOMEBREW IF YOU DON’T ALREADY HAVE IT INSTALLED.

Homebrew is a free and open-source software package management system that simplifies the installation of software on Apple's macOS operating system.

Install node.js and npm if you have not already done so.

$ brew install npm

INSTALL TYPESCRIPT.

$ npm install typescript -g

OPTIONALLY INSTALL BABEL.

Babel has support for the latest version of JavaScript (ES2015) through syntax transformation. Lianja will soon handle dynamic transpiling of JavaScript ES6 (.es6/.jsx files) to JavaScript ES5 (.js files) for you.

$ npm install babel-cli babel-preset-env -g

INSTALL ELECTRON.

$ npm install electron -g
$ npm install electron-packager -g

Optionally install the Command-line application launcher for the iOS Simulator. Be aware, this requires XCode to be installed which takes a while. You will need this if you intend to build React-native Apps in Lianja.

$ npm install ios-sim -g

INSTALL ODBC manager

$ brew install unixodbc

Now init the ODBC definitions for Lianja. This will define the Lianja ODBC driver in /usr/local/etc/odbcinst.ini and the lianja_southwind DSN in /usr/local/etc/odbc.ini.

Open a Terminal.

$ sudo /usr/local/lianja/server/dist/postinstall.sh /usr/local/lianja/server odbc

Setting up ODBC data sources non-GUI.

See https://www.unixodbc.org/odbcinst.html
