Getting Started

For local development, you need to install the cds command-line tools once, which in turn require Node.js, as follows…

1. Install Node.js from https://nodejs.org
   ( use latest LTS release )

2. Set npm registry for @sap packages

   npm set @sap:registry=https://npm.sap.com
   

3. Install cds development kit globally

   npm i -g @sap/cds-dk
   cds  #> test-run it
   

4. Install SQLite from http://sqlite.org/download.html
   ( on Windows only; included with Mac and Linux)
