Setting up the development environment
In this tutorial, you install the telstion-client-cli and generate a new telestion-client project.
Prerequisites
To complete this tutorial, you should be familiar with basic terminal commands.
What you’ll build¶
The result is a project structure that you can begin to customize.
Step 1: Installing tc-cli¶
Install the tc-cli by running the following command in your terminal:
This command installs the CLI, which you can call using the tc-cli command.
Step 2: Initializing the project¶
This step initializes the project.
Open the terminal where you want to generate the project and run
Replace myproject with your own desired name.
Using the telestion-project-template
When using the
telestion-project-template repository
for your project, just run tc-cli init (without a folder name) inside the
repository’s root folder. This command, then, automatically bootstraps a Client
project into the repository’s client folder.
This command generates a folder with the chosen name that contains a ready-to-use client project and installs all necessary dependencies.
Windows execution policies
On Windows machines, you might get an error message about execution policies. In this case, run the power shell as administrator and use this command:
```
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
```
Restart your other terminal and re-run the `tc-cli` command.
Step 3: Run the client¶
Run the client by navigating into your folder and run
Tip
This runs tc-cli start --electron in the background.
An electron window opens, and you can see your application.
Next steps¶
Now that you’ve generated your client project, you can configure and extend your client in the following tutorials.
