Installation

Launching from the command line

You can also run AVAP™ Dev Studio from the terminal by typing 'code' after adding it to the path:

• Launch AVAP™ Dev Studio.
• Open the Command Palette {' '} (Cmd+Shift+P) and type 'shell command' to find the{' '} Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH {' '} command.

##IMAGEN##

• Restart the terminal for the new $PATH value to take effect. You'll be able to type 'code .' in any folder to start editing files in that folder.

Instead of running the command above, you can manually add AVAP™ Dev Studio to your path, to do so run the following commands:

cat << EOF >> ~/.bash_profile
        
        Add AVAP™ Dev Studio 2024 (code)
        
        export PATH="\$PATH:/Applications/AVAP™ Dev Studio
        2024.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin"
        
        EOF

Start a new terminal to pick up your .bash_profile changes.

Note: The leading slash \ is required to prevent{' '} $PATH from expanding during the concatenation. Remove the leading slash if you want to run the export command directly in a terminal.

Note: Since zsh became the default shell in macOS Catalina, run the following commands to add AVAP™ Dev Studio to your path:

`cat << EOF >> ~/.zprofile
        
        Add AVAP™ Dev Studio 2024 (code)
        
        export PATH="\$PATH:/Applications/AVAP™ Dev Studio
        2024.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin"
        
        EOF`

Touch Bar support

Out of the box AVAP™ Dev Studio adds actions to navigate in editor history as well as the full Debug tool bar to control the debugger on your Touch Bar:

Mojave privacy protections

After upgrading to macOS Mojave version, you may see dialogs saying "AVAP™ Dev Studio 2024 would like to access your {calendar/contacts/photos}." This is due to the new privacy protections in Mojave and is not specific to AVAP™ Dev Studio. The same dialogs may be displayed when running other applications as well. The dialog is shown once for each type of personal data and it is fine to choose Don't Allow since AVAP™ Dev Studio does not need access to those folders.

AVAP™ Dev Studio ships monthly releases and supports auto-update when a new release is available. If you're prompted by AVAP™ Dev Studio, accept the newest update and it will get installed (you won't need to do anything else to get the latest bits).
