Installation

Installation of the Netuno low-code, polyglot and open source platform.

Build robust full-stack applications with low-code.

Requirements​

Netuno uses the installed Java only to run the initial installation process.

During the Netuno installation, GraalVM is automatically installed in the Netuno folder, and GraalVM Java is then used to run Netuno.

Installing the front-end prerequisites is optional and is only required for full-stack development.

Back-end: Java​

Make sure you have Java installed by running the following command in the terminal:

java -version

The Java version should be 11 or above.

If you don't have it installed, install Java open source for Windows and macOS at:

On Linux Ubuntu or Debian, use the command:

  • apt install default-jdk-headless

Front-end: Bun & PNPM​

It is not mandatory, but it is recommended that Bun and PNPM be installed to compile the UI (user interface, front-end) of applications.

Instead of using Node and NPM, Bun and PNPM are more optimized and faster. Overall, they are superior because they demonstrate better practical results in development.

All Netuno example projects and the generation of new applications are adapted to work with Bun and PNPM.

Make sure you use the latest versions of these technologies.

If you want to use Node and NPM, or any other technology, it is always possible; it is up to you.

Considerations​

Running the installation command below will change the path in the terminal from where you were to the new 📁 netuno folder that will be created.

If is needed to run the installation command line again you will need to correct the path and probably remove the 📁 netuno folder that was created.

Stable Version​

The stable release is a safe and production-ready.

To install the stable version, follow the installation steps below:

Linux or macOS​

It is common to have cURL and Wget command, run in terminal to check.

After performing one of the previous steps, proceed to the Netuno's installation:

  • Installation of the official and stable version:
java -jar netuno-setup.jar install

On macOS, you need to disable the quarantine, thus inside the netuno home folder, please run: sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine .

It is common to have cURL and Wget command, run in terminal to check.

To create the Netuno directory, execute in the terminal:

mkdir -p netuno && cd netuno

Choose one of the following methods of download:

  • Download with cURL:
curl -L https://github.com/netuno-org/platform/releases/download/testing/netuno-setup.jar -o netuno-setup.jar
  • Download with Wget:
wget https://github.com/netuno-org/platform/releases/download/testing/netuno-setup.jar -O netuno-setup.jar

After performing one of the previous steps, proceed to the Netuno's installation:

  • Installation of the testing version:
java -jar netuno-setup.jar install version=testing

On macOS, you need to disable the quarantine, thus inside the netuno home folder, please run: sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine .

Windows​

To install the current testing version in Windows, open the terminal of PowerShell, then go to the start menu and type: powershell

Now copy and paste the command below and follow the installation steps:

md netuno; cd netuno
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://github.com/netuno-org/platform/releases/download/testing/netuno-setup.jar" -OutFile "netuno-setup.jar"

After performing the previous download, proceed to the Netuno's installation:

  • Installation of the testing version:
java -jar netuno-setup.jar install version=testing
