Using VIKTOR​

Creating apps​

Want to start creating your own app? We recommend you start with the App Builder. It’s the easiest and quickest way to create an app. Prefer your own IDE. It's also possible to install and develop VIKTOR apps locally.

See Two ways to build a VIKTOR app for more information about the differences in build methods.

Getting started with the App builder​

You can start a new app directly from the Home page in the VIKTOR environment.

  1. Describe the app you want to build in the prompt field at the top of the Home page. Make clear that you want to create a new app, for example "Create an app that calculates the bending moment of a beam". You can also click one of the example prompts below the field to fill it in.
  2. The agent finds existing apps that match your request and offers Start building.
  3. Click Start building to open the App Builder with your prompt carried over.

Go to App Builder for more detailed information on how to use the App builder, its features and limitations.

Getting started with Local development​

To start developing apps locally you need to install Python and VIKTOR on your own computer. That is assuming you already have an IDE installed.

  1. Go to your personal settings > local development.
  2. Here you click on Install VIKTOR.
  3. The pop-up will guide you through the installation process.

After you complete the installation, you can continue to the next step, the starter guide.
