Tutorial Introduction

This first tutorial is designed to provide you with:

1. References and the basic background knowledge that your Amiga app development will be based on.
2. 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

The instructions should work as written on native Linux machines!

Windows

You should run this with windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). This is a well supported and documented environment.

Install WSL

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.

Mac

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!
