Prerequisites
- Access to a Developer Edition organization for developing your
canvas app. To install your canvas app, you’ll need a Developer
Edition organization other than the one you use to create the canvas
app.
To create a Developer Edition org, go to developer.salesforce.com/signup and follow the instructions for signing up for a Developer Edition organization.
If you have an existing Developer Edition organization, and, from Setup, you don’t see the menu item Canvas App Previewer, contact Salesforce.
- “Customize Application” and “Modify All Data” user permissions. If you’re an administrator, you most likely already have these permissions. Otherwise, you need to add them so that you can see the Canvas App Previewer and create canvas apps.
- Git installed. Go here to install and configure Git: https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git.
After you install Git, you might need to configure SSH by using the keygen tool. See https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys for more information. If you’re using Windows, this tool is located in the Git \bin directory, which isn’t added to the path after you install Git. Add the \bin directory to your path by using Control Panel. Depending on your installation directory, the path might be something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin.
- A GitHub account to clone the code example. Go here to set up a GitHub account: https://github.com/plans.
- Maven 3.0 or greater installed to package the sample app. Go here to download and install Maven: http://maven.apache.org/download.html.
- A Heroku account if you want to run the app from Heroku. Go here to create a Heroku account: https://api.heroku.com/signup.
- Heroku Toolbelt if you want to manage the Heroku app from the command line. Go here to download and install Heroku Toolbelt: https://toolbelt.heroku.com.
