Pre-requisites

Getting started with Optimus

  • Step 1: Install the optimus-cli utilty
npm install -g optimus-cli
  • Step 2: Verify if your system is ready for using Optimus
$ optimus doctor
  • Step 3: Install if optimus doctor reported any missing dependencies.
$ optimus setup

  • Step 4: Again try to execute optimus doctor, if some applications are not getting detected try setting path for which ever it is not detecting ( Java|Gradle|MongoDB|AndroidPlatformTools ).

  • Step 5: Configure Mongodb
    If you have installed mongodb using optimus doctor command. You will have to manually create /Data/db folder.

    Here is how you do it in terminal

    mkdir -p \data\db
icacls "C:\data" /grant Users:F

    try running mongod command in your terminal now, mongo instance should be up and running on port 27017

  • Step 6: To create a new Optimus project.

$ optimus new <project_name>
  • Step 7: Once the project is created you can import the project into your favourite IDE. However we love IntelliJ though.

Import Project

  • IntelliJ

  • Eclipse

  • Change Appium & Node Path in HelloOptimusAndroid.json|HelloOptimusIOS.json Check manually by going to below mentioned paths. If the files are present, then you can use below paths. Otherwise you need to set the actual path of Appium&Node.
AppiumPath in json - "C:\\Users\\<UserName>\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\appium\\build\\lib\\main.js"
NodePath in json - "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe"
