I have installed latest App Center with version (1.1.328). In the runtime folder I got the attached “how to guide” but it doesn’t specify how i can run it in sandbox, I need it to build apps and test locally.

Hello @AKB!

Thanks for posting this question as a different topic :wink:

This answer can be found here - if you are asked for a password, it is shared on this post.

In short, these are the arguments you can pass to the installer to install the Sandbox environment:

  • --cluster-sandbox : Set up a local sandbox consisting of a Docker registry and Helm repository allowing you to deploy and install your app locally, before submitting the app.
  • --cluster-dev-mode : Enable Kubernetes & Helm dashboards for monitoring and debugging
  • --cluster-debug : Output verbose installation logs --dbg : Run the UI installer in debug mode
  • --update : To speed up the installation, you can set this flag and it will skip whatever is already installed

Let me know how it goes.

Also the arguments mentioned I have to use them like this right,

runtime-installer-1.1.328.exe --cluster-sandbox

As mentioned before, the password for that entry is shared on this post.
And yes, you need to pass them to the installer call as you mentioned:

i.e.

runtime-installer-1.1.328.exe --cluster-sandbox --cluster-dev-mode --update

Thanks, I will try this and share my finding.

Hello. I am having issues installing the runtime and would like to reach the documentation. But it seems that the page with the password is gone. Could someone share it? Thanks
