Running a StarL Simulation

1. Install the Community Version of IntelliJ IDEA for your operating system.

   • It is recommended to use IntelliJ for development of StarL because it ships with Maven out-of-the-box.
   • Maven is necessary to build StarL.
   • If using Eclipse, editing configurations, setting goals etc were necessary. None of that is required with IntelliJ.

2. Open IntelliJ. Go to File > New > Project From Version Control > Github. Enter login credentials. Enter https://github.com/cyphyhouse/newLib as the Git repository URL.

   • Note that cloning the repository does not allow you push access to the repository.
   • Your changes will only be saved locally.

3. After you have checked out the project, you should see a screen like this. Click on Import Changes in the dialog box at the bottom-right corner.

   • DO NOT select Enable Auto-Imports
   • Eclipse seems to lack this feature, which makes importing more tedious.

4. Then double click on the newLib button at the top-left corner to enter Project View. You can now see all your files.

5. Go to src > main > java > testSim > follow > Main. Click on the green arrow on the Main class and select Run Main.main() like this.

6. Wait for the simulator to launch. Soon you'll have a simulation of the Follow App running!
