The Command Line Interface (CLI) contains the base support for developing and running apps. Additional runtime libraries are retrieved as needed from a module repository on ProjectZero.org.
Refer to the Getting Started Guide for instructions on creating your first application.
App Builder is an integrated, non-released, Web-based tool for developing WebSphere sMash applications.
To start the App Builder, navigate to the zero directory (where the CLI was installed) and run appbuilder open .
Although we recommend the App Builder as the preferred tool for building WebSphere sMash applications, you have the option of using the Eclipse development environment with the language of your choice: Java or PHP. See the Eclipse Support page in the Getting Started guide for details on Eclipse setup and usage.
