Clone the Project from GitHub

The “hello world” sample project is part of the Force.com Canvas SDK which is located on GitHub. In this step, we’ll clone the project to make a copy of it on your local machine.
  1. Log into https://github.com.
  2. Locate the project that contains the Force.com Canvas SDK and code examples by going to: https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceCanvasFrameworkSDK.
  3. Clone the project by clicking Zip and downloading the .zip file.
  4. Extract all the files from the zip file locally into a directory called c:\SalesforceCanvasFrameworkSDK. Alternatively, you can download the project by using the Git command line and issuing this command: git clone git@github.com:forcedotcom/SalesforceCanvasFrameworkSDK.git.
  5. Open a command window and navigate to c:\SalesforceCanvasFrameworkSDK.
  6. Enter the command git submodule init.
  7. Enter the command git submodule update. This adds other projects into the current project. The file c:\SalesforceCanvasFrameworkSDK\.gitmodules shows you which projects are included as submodules.

After you clone the project, the c:\SalesforceCanvasFrameworkSDK directory should contain a subdirectory named src, as well as files like pom.xml and README.md.
