Before You Begin (Beta)

Before you begin to explore Salesforce DX, you must set up the Salesforce DX environment.

This release contains a beta version of Salesforce DX, which means it’s a high-quality feature with known limitations. Salesforce DX isn’t generally available unless or until Salesforce announces its general availability in documentation or in press releases or public statements. We can’t guarantee general availability within any particular time frame or at all. Make your purchase decisions only on the basis of generally available products and features. You can provide feedback and suggestions for Salesforce DX in the Salesforce DX Beta group in the Success Community.

Note

  1. If you participated in the Salesforce DX Pilot, read the Salesforce DX release notes for upgrade instructions and other important information before you set up your environment.
  2. Enable the Developer Hub (Dev Hub) in your production org (if you're a customer) or your business org (if you're an AppExchange partner).
    If you want to try out Salesforce DX first, you can sign up for a trial org that has Dev Hub enabled.
  3. If you want to include your team, you can add users to your Dev Hub org.
  4. Ensure that your computers meet all system requirements.
  5. Install the Salesforce CLI and the salesforcedx plug-in.
  6. If you want to evaluate the Force.com IDE 2, download and install it.
  7. Download the Salesforce DX samples from GitHub.
