<h1>
App Inventor Setup
</h1>
<p>
App Inventor runs through a Web browser. If you're using a phone, you work with the
phone connected to your computer by a USB cord. Your app will emerge on the phone
bit by bit as you work. If you don't have a phone, there's a phone emulator
included with the App Inventor setup package that you can use instead. When you're
done building, you can "package" your finished app to produce an "application
package" (Android apk file) that can be shared around and installed on any Android
phone, just like any other Android app.
</p>
<p>
To get started you need to complete the following steps:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>
Step 1:
</b>
<a href="#setupComputer">
Set up your computer
</a>
</li>
<li class="c2">
<br />
</li>
<li>
<b>
Step 2:
</b>
Do one of the following, depending on whether you will develop on
an Android phone or with the emulator:
<ul>
<li>
<a href="/learn/setup/phone.html">
Set up your Android phone
</a>
and
<a href="/learn/setup/hellopurr/hellopurrphonepart1.html">
build your first app with
the phone
</a>
, OR
</li>
<li>
<a href="/learn/setup/hellopurr/hellopurremulatorpart1.html">
Build your first
app with the emulator
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>
<a name="setupComputer">
</a>
Set up your computer
</h2>
<h4>
System requirements:
</h4>
<p>
Computer and operating system
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Macintosh (with Intel processor): Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6
</li>
<li>
Windows: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7
</li>
<li>
GNU/Linux: Ubuntu 8+, Debian 5+
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Browser
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Mozilla Firefox 3.6 or higher
<ul>
<li>
Note: If you are using Firefox with the
<em>
NoScript
</em>
extension, you'll
need to turn the extension off. See the
<a href="../troubleshooting.html#BlocksEditor">
note on the troubleshooting page
</a>
.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Apple Safari 5.0 or higher
</li>
<li>
Google Chrome 4.0 or higher
</li>
<li>
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 or higher
</li>
</ul>
<h4>
Test your Java configuration
</h4>
<p>
Your computer needs to run Java 6 (also known as Java 1.6). You can download Java
from
<a href="http://www.java.com">
www.java.com
</a>
.
</p>
<p>
Test your Java configuration by performing both of the following tests:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
Visit the
<a href="http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml">
Java test
page
</a>
. You should see a message that Java is working and that the version is
Java 1.6.
</li>
<li>
Run the AppInventor Java test by clicking on
<a href="misc/JWSTest/AppInvJWSTest.html">
this link
</a>
.
This will check that your browser is properly configured to run Java, and that your
computer can launch applications with Java Web Start.
</li>
</ol>
App Inventor will not work on your computer if these tests do not succeed. Don't
go on to try to use App Inventor until you've dealt with the issue.

</a>
<h4>
Install the App Inventor Setup Software
</h4>
<p>
Before you can use App Inventor, you need to install some software on your
computer. The software you need is provided in a package called
<em>
App Inventor
Setup
</em>
. Follow the instructions for your operating system to do the
installation, and then go on to build the demo app (Hello Purr) with the phone or
with the emulator.
