Welcome to AppInventor offline

Description:

This is an Offline version of App Inventor that was created by AppyBuilder. App Inventor source code can be found at Github here:

https://github.com/mit-cml/appinventor-sources

This standalone version has been updated to run locally, on following platforms:

• Windows
• Linux
• Mac

Required Software / setup:

• Java JDK 1.8
  • You may need to install OpenJDK 8 if using Linux
• Setup JAVA_HOME properly

Starting servers:

• WinStartBuildServer.bat - starts the backend build servers
• WinStartFrontend.bat - starts the frontend UI
  • Once Frontend is started, start browser (Chrome or Firefox) and point your browser to: http://localhost:8888
• If using Linux or Mac, use the startBuildServer.sh and startFromend.sh

Troubleshooting:

If you receive error "Address already in use", it means App Inventor was not shut-down gracefully. You'll need to kill java:

• Windows: Use task manager
• Linux:
  • First use lsof -i tcp:9990 to get the id from the process that was running.
  • Then use that id and killed the process: kill -9 6627 i guess the id could be different on other computers.
