AppBuilder:Installation

[sairam_swaminathan]

Hi, I have a question on AppBuilder:

I am trying to install the app builder in a windows machine.

i have performed the following steps to install nodeJS in my machine

1. Download the NodeJS installer for your system from http://nodejs.org/download/.

2. Run the NodeJS installer, and follow the prompts in the Install Wizard.

3. Verify that the node.js folder is in your System Environment PATH.

4. Open a command prompt, and enter npm to verify the NodeJS package

Installing AppBuilder on Windows

1. Extract the appbuilder-1.0.zip file to the directory of your choice.

2. From the directory where you extracted the contents of the zip file, double-click the

run.bat file to launch AppBuilder.

Now when i try to launch the run.bat file under the appbuilder-1.0.1252 folder, i get the following error:

Unable to find the node.exe file.

I am not sure why this is happening i have also verified that the nodejs path is set in the environment variables

have any of you faced the similar issue?

Hi Sai,

SAP's recommended tool for developing SAPUI5 based apps is SAP Web IDE (formerly River RDE). So I would suggest you to start with Web IDE instead of Appbuilder.

Web IDE is available on the cloud as well as for your local machine. You can find more information here:

Hi Sai,

Can you make sure if node.js is working correctly?

open cmd> type node > enter

then type console.log('Node is working ');

Hi JK,

Thanks for your reply. I tried launching the appbuilder when the nodejs was running. I am able to launch the appbuilder IDE.
