Node.js & npm

Make sure you have Node.js installed. Download the installer here or use your favorite package manager. You must download the installer according to your platform and operating system. It’s suggested to use the 18.10.0 version of node along with the 8.19.2 version of npm. We’ve found this combination to be the fastest and most stable for Ontimize Web.

Following installation, make sure you have correctly installed Node.js by invoking the following commands in the command-line:

On the Mac, the command-line is available via the Terminal application. On the PC, it’s available as Command Prompt under Accessories.

# Checking node version
C:\>node -v
v18.10.0
# Checking npm version
C:\>npm -v
8.19.2

Angular CLI

You need to have installed Angular CLI to build applications and to generate components and modules.

# Installing angular CLI package globally
npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

Note: ‘ontimize-web-ngx@15.0.0’ is using ‘@angular/cli@15.2.9’

Git

Git is also necessary to be able to download resources from Imatia’s code repositories. Download the installer here according your operating system.

Visual Studio Code

It is not absolutely necessary to use this IDE, if highly recommended, but certain .dll inherent in installation for some of the tools Ontimize compilation of web applications are needed.

While the use of this IDE is not required (although it is recommended), the dynamic libraries installed with the IDE are used by some of the Ontimize compilation tools. Download the installer here according your operating system.
