Getting Started¶
Installing Hightide¶
Requirements¶
You need Java SDK v1.8 to run Hightide. Check your current java installation:
$ java -version
Creating your first application¶
Once you’re done with the installation, check if Hightide is successfully installed using the following command:
$ hightide
You should see something like the following output:
__ ___ __ __ _ __
/ / / (_)___ _/ /_ / /_(_)___/ /__
/ /_/ / / __ `/ __ \/ __/ / __ / _ \
/ __ / / /_/ / / / / /_/ / /_/ / __/
/_/ /_/_/\__, /_/ /_/\__/_/\__,_/\___/
/____/
hightide>
You can now create a new Hightide application from Hightide’s shell prompt:
hightide> new mynewapp
or straight from your command line prompt:
$ hightide new mynewapp
The above command will create a new directory named mynewapp and all necessary files to run a Hightide application, using the default Hightide prototype.
Application prototypes is a very usefull concept and the default way of making a new application in Hightide.
