Basic Configuration

Overview

You'll clone a GitHub repository that contains a project template and you'll build the project using the Gradle Wrapper script.

The script will install Gradle and Gradle will install Eta and Etlas.

Requirements

You must have the following installed on your system:

• JDK 8 or above
• Git

Installation

1. Fire up your terminal and type the following commands:

   
   

   $ git clone https://github.com/typelead/eta-init
   $ cd eta-init
   

   
   

   Linux/OS X

   $ ./gradlew run
   

   
   

   Windows

   $ gradlew.bat run
   

   
   

2. If this is your first time using Eta on your system, you will get prompted about your preference for telemetry.

   
   

   If you are fine with sending metrics, you can run the following commands:

   
   

   Linux/OS X

   $ ./gradlew run -PetaSendMetrics=true
   

   
   

   Windows

   $ gradlew.bat run -PetaSendMetrics=true
   

   
   

   If you are not fine with sending metrics, you can replace true with false in the commands listed above.

   
   

   NOTE: You only need to send the -P argument the first time you express your preference.
