Step 1: Make sure your computer can connect to the NuGet site (https://www.nuget.org).
NuGet packages must be downloaded first in order to run the PowerServer Web APIs.
Step 2: Click the Run Project
button (
) in the toolbar.
This will run the PowerServer Web APIs on the local machine, including downloading the required NuGet packages, compiling the "ServerAPIs" project in the PowerServer C# solution, starting the internal Kestrel web server included in the project, and then running PowerServer Web APIs on Kestrel, all automatically.
Make sure the API console window displays "Now listening on: http://[ip]:[port]".
Make sure the API console window displays "Application started...". This indicates PowerServer Web APIs starts successfully.
After PowerServer Web APIs is started, the client app will start to run in the Web browser automatically. The app URL to be run is http://localhost:5099/salesdemo_cloud, it has the same IP and port number as the Web API URL by default.
In the app entry page that appears, click Download the Launcher to download and install the launcher.
After the launcher is installed, the application should automatically start, if not, click Start the Application in the entry page to start the application.
When the application main window displays, click the Address button in the application toolbar. Data should be successfully displayed.
Once the application installs and runs successfully, you should be able to find the app shortcut on the desktop as well as on the Windows start menu on your client PC.
