Developer Setup

Overview

In this page, we walk you through everything you need to setup your local machine to develop and connected system plug-in.

Note:  To build and test a connected system plug-in, you will need the ability to deploy a plug-in and change custom properties on that server. This means a running local installation.

Set up your local machine

Note:  You can create plug-ins using any IDE or code editor, but this document and examples are geared towards IntelliJ users with many IntelliJ-specific instructions.
