A Guide For building Appinventor In both Windows and Linux!

Pradevel · April 21, 2021, 5:15pm

I noticed that many people were facing issues in building appinventor in windows.
So I am writing this guide to help install AI2 Sources.

First to make sure

You don't have java --version more than 8

Installations:

WIndows

Download and Install java
Download Ant from its website.

https://apachemirror.wuchna.com//ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.10.10-bin.zip

Next we need to install it with its wizard.
Then we need to install Google Cloud SDK.
Open PowerShell and run --

(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile("https://dl.google.com/dl/cloudsdk/channels/rapid/GoogleCloudSDKInstaller.exe", "$env:Temp\GoogleCloudSDKInstaller.exe")

& $env:Temp\GoogleCloudSDKInstaller.exe

Go though the installation wizard.

Downloading and compiling AI2 Sources--

Run the following command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/mit-cml/appinventor-sources
git submodule update --init
cd appinventor/
ant MakeAuthKey
ant noplay (the noplay argument prevents the building of aiplay app which is known as the companion. Its optional)
java_dev_appserver --port=8888 --address=0.0.0.0 appengine/build/war/
Now open another command prompt
cd appinventor/buildserver/
ant RunLocalBuildServer
Your Appinventor instance is ready in http://localhost:8888

If this gives error like...

BUILD FAILED
C:\appinventor-sources\appinventor\build.xml:50: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\appinventor-sources\appinventor\appengine\build.xml:173: Warning: Could not find file C:\appinventor-sources\appinventor\build\blocklyeditor\blockly-all.js to copy.

Its probably because of your antivirus software...
Try whitelisting the appinventor directory to the antivirus program.
If this issue persists then try to run
ant instead of ant noplay

Linux

Installation:

sudo apt update (Updates your software repos)
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-doc openjdk-8-jre-lib (Installs Java 8)
sudo apt install ant (Installs Ant)
apt-get install google-cloud-sdk (Install Google Cloud Platform SDK)
sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk-app-engine-java (Installs components for the sdk)

Run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/mit-cml/appinventor-sources
git submodule update --init
cd appinventor/
ant MakeAuthKey
ant noplay (the noplay argument prevents the building of aiplay app which is known as the companion. Its optional)
java_dev_appserver.sh --port=8888 --address=0.0.0.0 appengine/build/war/
Now open another command prompt
cd appinventor/buildserver/
ant RunLocalBuildServer
Your Appinventor instance is ready in http://localhost:8888

FAQ

Running -- java_dev_appserver --port=8888 --address=0.0.0.0 appengine/build/war/ fails.

Ans) Try running gcloud components install app-engine-java. If this fails then try installing python 2.7

java_dev_appserver command not found

Ans) Make sure Google Cloud SDK is added to path. For example
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\bin

Any problems? Post it here make sure to post the error log along with it :)

It doesn't work in git bash unless you add .cmd or .sh to the command

U don't know how good and helpful it is for beginners. Thanks from depth of my heart

Pradevel · April 21, 2021, 5:18pm

Thanks @Rudra_Software_Corpo

Pradevel · April 21, 2021, 5:23pm

@ewpatton Did I miss something ?

Rudra_Software_Corpo · April 21, 2021, 5:24pm

Does the java dev appserver work in git?

Pradevel · April 21, 2021, 5:28pm

@Rudra_Software_Corpo can you elaborate ?

Satzd68 · April 22, 2021, 5:01am

When I run ant or ant noplay I always get the build failed error. Why is this happening? and how to overcome this?

Pradevel · April 22, 2021, 5:12am

Please provide full log

@Satzd68 did you run
git submodule update --init

Satzd68 · April 22, 2021, 5:19am

Yes i did.

Pradevel · April 22, 2021, 5:21am

I did not see this error before...
can you try whitelisting appinventor directory from your appinventor directory

Satzd68 · April 22, 2021, 5:23am

How to do that one?

Pradevel · April 22, 2021, 5:24am

Do you have any antivirus software ?

Satzd68 · April 22, 2021, 5:25am

Yes i actually Disabled it. after i got the ant error. then again tried ant still got this error.

Pradevel · April 22, 2021, 5:26am

After disabling
run git submodule update --init

Satzd68 · April 22, 2021, 5:28am
