Introduction
To create all projects on the platform, we use a command line interface tool called CleverMaps Shell.

In the future, we want the users to be able to create their projects in the application itself. The vision is to have a "studio", where everyone can easily configure the projects using a specialized user interface. But that's still a long way ahead, so in the meantime we developed this simple command line tool. It may not be so user friendly, but it gets the work perfectly done and does not take years of planning and development. |
Shell runs in a command line - cmd.exe on Windows, Unix shell on Linux and Terminal on Mac. Shell manages CleverMaps projects by using project dumps. Project dump is an image of the project in a specific time. You dump (~download) the project to your local machine from our server, and edit different parts of it using a text editor. After you make your changes, you upload (~push) them back to the project. Project dump structure is described in detail in this article.

There is a project available, which has all the tutorials completed. You can clone it (guide), tweak it and see what changes in the application.

This is an option for people who value self-taught abilities above everything else.
