Can I learn & practice HANA on my home laptop with the server-only version of HANA Express

Or do I need the "Server + Applications" version of HANA Express to fully learn HANA Development?

p.s. As I don't have the requisite 16 GB RAM, so I can't install the "Server + Applications" version of HANA Express.

Hi

I know that I'm handicapped using only the "Server only" version of HANA Express , so I'll be grateful if someone can point me a easy way out to practice full HANA course using home laptop.

Hello Rajat,

You can download Hana Studio here. It is Eclipse based Hana IDE. You can install it on your machine and use it to develop in hana 1.0 or hana 2.0 old model.

And by older techniques Thomas meant XSJS development model. You can find more about it e.g. here.

Hi Vladmir,

Thanks for replying. I have already downloaded HANA Express. So do I still need to install HANA studio separately again?

I'm little confused. I thought HANA express serves the purpose of "HANA Studio" !!

Also, as I said I have 8 GB Ram (not up-gradable to higher RAM) , so I can only install the HANA Express(Server only version) & not the "Server+Application" version.

So do I still need Eclipse if I use the "HANA Express" (Server-only version)??

Can you plz clarify?

Regards,

Rajat
