Create the Extension Development Environment on Windows

After you configure user variables, you run the bicreateenv script to create the development environment that contains the resources you need to create extensions.

For information about the options available for running the script, see the script's command-line help, for example:

cd $PLUGIN_DEV_DIR
bicreateenv -help

See Workflow to Set Up the Oracle Analytics Extension Development Environment.

Open Command Prompt, and run the bicreateenv script to create the environment, for example:
```
cd $PLUGIN_DEV_DIR
bicreateenv
```
In File Explorer, navigate to the directory that you created and confirm that its contents look like this:

Optional: If you’re working behind a web proxy, open gradle.properties and add system properties that point to your proxy.
Use the following example to set your gradle.properties:
```
systemProp.https.proxyHost=www-proxy.somecompany.com
systemProp.https.proxyPort=80
systemProp.https.nonProxyHosts=*.somecompany.com|*.companyaltname.com
```
