Tutorial Introduction
This first tutorial is designed to provide you with:
- References and the basic background knowledge that your Amiga app development will be based on.
- An understanding of the
amiga-app-template
you will use as the base of your custom apps.
Your system​
The app development process works best on Ubuntu 20.04, but we also support Windows and Mac systems.
- Linux
- Windows
- Mac
You should run this with windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). This is a well supported and documented environment.
You should install WSL2, using the Ubuntu 20.04 distribution.
One option: Ubuntu 20.04 from Microsoft store
For the most part, you should be able to use WSL to run the native Linux commands.
Everything should work as with Linux, though there may be some
unmet dependencies you can install with brew
.
E.g.,
brew install wget
Some of the scripts may fail, and we're working through that.
For instance, if you come into an md5sum
issue, you'll need to
change md5sum
to md5
.
We are actively working on this support, so please reach out with an issues you encounter so we can help you through them and resolve it promptly!
