Installing the Fantom Netbeans IDE

You can either install as a plugin to an existing Netbeans installation, or standalone.

Standalone Install

• For Linux/Unix/Windows, download:

Get fantom-x.y.z.zip from http://www.colar.net/fantomide/

• For OSX:

Get fantom-x.y.z.app.tgz from http://www.colar.net/fantomide/

Extract at a location of your choice, and then run bin/fantomide (bin/fantomide.exe on windows).

Once the IDE is up go to tools/options/miscellaneous/fantom options and set the path to your fantom install (fantom home).

You can now open existing projects (folders with a build.fan in them) and add fan files & edit/run them.

See the demo to get started.
