Development Environment Setup ​

The development environment for LCMD MicroServer applications supports Windows, Linux, and macOS. Below are the installation steps for the development environment:

1. Install Dependencies

• First, you need to install Node.js version 18 or higher and the LCMD MicroServer Client

2. Install Lazycat Cloud Developer Tools

• Lazycat Cloud Developer Tools is a backend tool for building, installing, and deploying LCMD MicroServer applications. Through the LCMD MicroServer client store, search for and install "Lazycat Developer Tools".

3. Install lzc-cli  

• lzc-cli is a command-line tool that runs on the developer's terminal. It can be considered as the frontend of Lazycat Cloud Developer Tools. Using it, you can develop, build, install, debug, and publish LCMD applications to the store.

# Install lzc-cli
npm install -g @lazycatcloud/lzc-cli

# Install lzc-cli
npm install -g @lazycatcloud/lzc-cli

4. Install System Dependencies

Install system dependencies according to your operating system.

• Ubuntu / Debian:

  bash

  sudo apt update
  sudo apt install openssh-client rsync

  sudo apt update
  sudo apt install openssh-client rsync

• macOS:

  bash

  brew install rsync
  brew install openssh # You can skip this if you already have ssh

  The rsync version that comes with macOS is older, please use the rsync version (v3.2.0+) installed via Homebrew

• Windows

  Windows 10 and above already come with ssh.exe, so no additional dependencies need to be installed.
