Downloading and Configuring

Downloading

1. Create a top-level directory which will be referred to herein as rootdir.
2. Change directory into rootdir
3. Follow this qooxdoo documentation to check out both qooxdoo trunk and qooxdoo-contrib trunk from their respective svn repositories. After doing this checkout, your rootdir should contain a directory called qooxdoo and one called qooxdoo-contrib.
4. If you're brand new to git, read these getting started instructions.
5. Create an account on github.com, and log in. Browse to http://github.com/derrell/App-Inventor-Gallery
6. Click the Fork button near the top right, to create your own fork of the gallery code.
7. Read [http://help.github.com/fork-a-repo/](github's forking documentation) to set up your local repository, and clone your github repository that you just forked into rootdir. Your rootdir should then contain qooxdoo, qooxdoo-contrib, and App Inventor Gallery.

Configuring your paths

1. Create a directory called ~/.qooxdoo
2. Create a file ~/.qooxdoo/qooxdoo_path. The content of the file should be a single line that contains the full path to your qooxdoo top-level directory. The qooxdoo top-level directory is the one in your downloaded qooxdoo tree that contains "framework", "tool", "application", and "component".
3. From the samples directory in your downloaded App Inventor Gallery, copy the file called generator.json into your ~/.qooxdoo directory.
4. Edit ~/.qooxdoo/generator.json. In the "let" section, edit the values of QOOXDOO_PATH and CONTRIB_PATH. The former is the same full path you added to the qooxdoo_path file. The latter is the full path to the top of the qooxdoo-contrib tree, where the directories "Dialog", "RpcJs", and "UploadWidget" reside.
