Prerequisites

Get the appropriate access and tools to complete the quick start steps.
  • Access to a Developer Edition organization.

    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.
  • A Heroku account. Go here to create a Heroku account: https://api.heroku.com/signup.
  • Java version 1.6 or 1.7 to run the local instance of the “hello world” app that you create. (The Heroku instance of the app automatically downloads the correct version of Java.)
