Working a tutorial with IntelliJ IDEA#

This guide walks you through using IntelliJ IDEA to build one of the tutorials.

What you will build?#

You’ll pick a tutorial and import it into IntelliJ IDEA. Then you can read the guide, work on the code, and run the project.

What you will need?#

Installing IntelliJ IDEA#

If you don’t have IntelliJ IDEA installed yet, visit the link up above. From there, you can download a copy for your platform. To install it simply unpack the downloaded archive.

When you’re done, go ahead and launch IntelliJ IDEA.

Importing a project#

To import an existing project you need some code, so clone or copy one of the tutorials repository.

$> git clone https://github.com/powsybl/powsybl-tutorials.git

With IntelliJ IDEA up and running, click Import Project on the Welcome Screen, or File > Open on the main menu: TODO: inserer une image

In the pop-up dialog make sure to select Maven’s pom.xml under the complete folder: TODO: inserer une image

IntelliJ IDEA will create a project with all the code from the guide ready to run.

Creating a project from Scratch#

In case you’d like to start with an empty project and copy-and-paste your way through the tutorial, create a new Maven project in the Project Wizard: TODO: add screenshot
