Installation Guides

Below are the step-by-step instructions for installing the prerequisites

Install Git

Git is a version control system that lets you check out code from a repository, work with that code on your own branch, and then merge that code with any changes that have been made by other developers. Git is an essential tool for distributed development teams, and is a critical component of the continuous integration/continuous development toolchain.

MacOSX:

1. Go to https://git-scm.com/downloads.
2. Under Downloads, click Mac OS X.
3. When the download completes, double-click the .dmg file open the installer package.
4. Double-click the installer package to begin the installation.

   Security Warning

   You may see a warning message that the package can't be opened because it's not from a recognized developer. If this happens, go to System Preferences > Security and Privacy Settings, and click Open Anyway.

5. Click Continue for the installation, and enter your local password to authorize the installation.

Windows:

1. Go to https://git-scm.com/downloads
2. Under Downloads, click on Windows.
3. When the dialog opens asking if you want to allow the app to make changes to your device, click Yes.
4. Follow the steps in the setup wizard to complete the installation. You should accept all the default settings.

Install NPM and NodeJS

NPM is the primary package manager that will help to resolve dependency issues.

1. Go to https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm](https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm).
2. Click the button that reads "Download Node.js and NPM.
3. The site will detect which operating system you're currently running and present the requesite packages.
4. Choose LTS, and open up the package to run the installer.
5. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
6. To ensure NPM and Node.js installed correctly, open a terminal/shell and run the following command:

   node -v
   npm -v
   

NodeJS lets you develop and deploy JavaScript applications on desktops and servers. If you which to download and install the package manually refer to the following instructions:

MacOSX:

1. Go to https://nodejs.org/en/download/.
2. Under LTS, click Mac OS Installer X.
3. When the download completes, double-click the .pkg file to open the installer
4. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

Windows:

1. Go to https://nodejs.org/en/download/.
2. Under LTS, click Windows Installer.
3. When the download completes, double-click the .msi file to open the installer
4. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

Install an IDE

It's recommended to install and Integrated Developer Environment, or a text editor, to help manage package dependencies, interperters, and overall code execution. There are several options available, some of them are free and some require payment:

• Atom IDE free, IDE developed by GitHub.
• WebStorm free trial, paid after 30 days, developed by JetBrains.
• Komodo Edit, free, text editor, stripped down version of Komodo IDE (paid version).
• Brackets free, text editor, contains a wealth of community plugins and extensions.

In our examples we use IntelliJ Community version. IntelliJ is an integrated development environment that incorporates several tools for developing and running Java code. You will be using IntelliJ to write and edit the sample Selenium scripts used in the exercises. For these exercises you only need to download the free Community edition.

MacOSX:

1. Go to https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/
2. Click Download.
3. On the Downloads page, select macOS.
4. Under Community, click Download.

6. Double-click the installer package to begin the installation.
7. Drag and drop the IntelliJ icon into the Applications folder.

Windows:

1. Go to https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/
2. Click Download.
3. On the Downloads page, select Windows.
4. Under Community, click Download.
5. When the download completes, double-click the .exe file to launch the installation wizard. You should accept all the default settings.

Install WebDriverIO

WebDriverIO is the next gen test framework for NodeJS that's an independent implementation of the JSON Wire Protocol that wraps lower level requests into a concise syntax.

Currently NodeJS bindings are available so to install WebDriverIO you must have NPM and internet access:

    $ npm install webdriverio

For more information, please refer to the WebDriverIO GitHub Page

(Optional) Install and Configure Jenkins Locally

A Jenkins build server is provided during the workshop, if you wish to re-produce the setup on your local machine consult the instructions located in the ./jenkins-guides/ directory. Additionally, if you wish to deploy and manage Jenkins via Docker containers, refer to the instructions located in the ./jenkins-guides/ directory.

(Optional) Install GeckoDriver

This option is for if you wish to test locally. The GeckoDriver is Mozilla's proxy for W3C WebDriver clients that interact with Gecko-based (firefox) browsers. We use GeckoDriver to ensure we've configured Node and WebdriverIO correctly.

MacOSX:

1. Go to https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases.
2. Under Assets, select and download the latest -macos.tar.gz release.
3. When the download completes, double-click the .tar.gz file to extract the binary
4. Move the geckodriver runtime file into your project dependency folder i.e. lib.

Windows:

1. Go to https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases.
2. Under Assets, select and download the latest -win64.zip release (select -win32.zip for 32-bit systems).
3. When the download completes, double-click the .zip file to extract the executable
4. Move the geckodriver.exe file into your project dependency folder i.e. lib.

Using NPM:

1. If you have internet access you can simply run the following command in an IntelliJ shell/terminal:

   $ npm install geckodriver

2. Then use the provided driver located in your bin directory.
