Setup a developer environment create-dev-environment

Acquire access and credentials for Adobe Developer App Builder.

Set up the local environment and the required tools.

Some more tools that help you get started developing smoothly are:

• Git
• Docker Desktop
• NodeJS (v14 LTS, odd versions are not recommended) and NPM. User of OSX HomeBrew can do brew install node to install both. Otherwise, download it from the NodeJS download page
• An IDE that is good for NodeJS, we recommend Visual Studio Code (VS Code) as it is the supported IDE for the debugger. You can use any other IDE as a code editor, but advanced usage (e.g. debugger) is not yet supported
• Install the latestAdobe I/O CLI (aio)

Make sure to meet the prerequisites

Ensure system administrator or developer role in the Experience Cloud organization. This is set up by a system admin in the Admin Console.

Log onto the Adobe Developer Console. Ensure you are part of the same Experience Cloud organization as the Experience Manager as a Cloud Service integration. For more information about Adobe Developer Console, see Console documentation.

Create an App Builder project. Click Create new project > Project from template. Select App Builder. It creates a new App Builder Project with two workspaces: Production and Stage. Add additional workspaces, for example Development, as required.

In the App Builder Project, select a workspace and subscribe to the services needed for Asset Compute. Click Add to Project > API and add Asset Compute, IO Events, and IO Events Management services. When adding the first API, it prompts to create a private key. Save this information on your machine as you need this key to test your custom application with the developer tool.
