💡 Learn more about UI5 Tooling and the UI5 Command Line Interface (CLI): It can be installed via the npm packet manager with this command: npm install -global successful installation can be verified with the version command: ui5 -version To develop UI5 applications, UI5 Toolingin terms of the UI5 CLI is required. 💡 Learn more about Node.js and the Node Packet Manager (npm): This step is essential to prevent potential incompatibility issues later in the configuration process since other tools may require a certain version of Node.js. If this returns no version at all, or like in my case, a version, which is not consistent with the latest long-term support, the installer to get the latest LTS version (currently v16.x.x) is available here: download Node.js.

Unfortunately, this includes missing some steps in the setup process from time to time while trying to get to the fun part as soon as possible – I’m sure we can all relate to that! My personal work circumstances aside, as fellow developers, we’re naturally always eager to try new things. Therefore, I often find myself setting up new development environments and figuring out the quirks of the recommended or my self-chosen tools along the way. In this blog post, I’d like to share my experience with the process of preparing my local development environment for the development of UI5 applications – including required installations, useful additions, and lessons learned while configuring my machine to quick-start UI5 development with Visual Studio Code (VS Code).Īs a dual-student in SAP’s Vocational Training Program, I can experience various technologies as part of my internships at different teams within the organization.
