Build Your Application Locally

After you create your visual application in Visual Builder and you are ready to stage or publish it, you can download the sources to your local machine and use Grunt to build it locally.

To build an application locally, you need to install Node.js and its package manager (npm) on your local system. You'll also need to save the sources for the visual application on your local system. You can get your visual application's sources by either:

  • Cloning the Git repository containing the sources, or

  • Exporting the visual application from Visual Builder and extracting it to your local system
