Install the ekstep-content-sdk

Install the node on your machine and follow the steps to install the EkStep content SDK and create a new plugin:

> npm install -g https://github.com/ekstep/EkStep-Content-SDK.git
> ekstep-content-sdk create <pluginname>
> ekstep-content-sdk serve <portnumber: default:8081>

Create a new plugin

Serve your plugins from your local dev environment

Enable SSL access for localhost

Enable developer mode and load your plugins

  1. Create content and launch the interactive editor

  2. In the URL add &developerMode=1 and click enter to reload

  3. Now you can see the Add plugin button - click on it to see the editor discover your local plugins and get going That's it! Your developer environment is ready. Refer to the Plugin developer guide or a couple of Plugins from the repo to get started. You can keep editing, and reload the plugin again.

The local plugin repository, hosted by the EkStep-Content-SDK uses a self-signed certificate to provide SSL access to the plugins under development. You need to enable accessing the localhost with a self-signed certificate in your browser to avoid seeing a security warning. Follow the steps
