Development Environment

To start developing a Mago Application it's necessary to set up a Development environment:

• Download the latest Mago Build using your Microarea credentials
• Install SQL Server Express Dev
• Install SQL Server Management Studio
• Install the necessary Windows Features
• Download Visual Studio 2019 (Direct Download: Community|Professional|Enterprise)
• Download the VS2019 install configuration. More Details here
• Install Visual Studio 2019 importing the configuration.
• Start VS2019
• Install the microarea addon under Extensions -> Manage Extensions and search for "Microarea"
• Create a folder under C:\ (name only a-z and 0-9)
• Extract TaskBuilderStudio.zip from the Mago Build into the previously created folder
• Extract Mago4 Sources.zip into the previously created folder
• Open the solution under Standard\Applications\ERP\ERP.sln
• Try to build Mago 4
• If you run into problems, open Powershell and unblock the necessary files using the "Unblock-File" command:

  Unblock-File ./Standard/Applications/ERP/Barcode/Microarea.ERP.BarcodeComponents/ScanDataCtrl.cs
  Unblock-File ./Apps/TBApps/Debug/*
  Unblock-File ./Apps/TBApps/Release/*
  Unblock-File ./Apps/AdministrationConsole/Release/*
  

• Create a IIS Directory by VS2019 under Extensions -> Microarea Tools -> Create IIS Directory (starting VS2019 as Admin might be needed)
• Open the Administration Console under /Apps/AdministrationConsole/Release/
• Register Mago4 using the Serial under http://mymago.zucchetti.com/int/Prodotti/MyM4SerialNumbers.aspx
• Create a new sytem database
• Create a new company by right clicking "companies" on the left
• Right click on the new company and select create/update database structure and click on create
• Right click on the new company and select manage company data
• Select Manage Sample Data and click through the dialogue
• Start Mago4 from VS2019 using F5

To generate an application you also need the tb-legacy tool:

• Install nodejs 8.9 or higher
• Follow the tb-legacy install instructions

Your Mago4 development environment should now be fully setup.
