Enabling Genesis Start

Genesis Start enables you to launch Genesis applications without the need for downloading and installing an IDE.

info

You do not need to enable recently created projects; these already have the Genesis Start enabled.

An older existing project can be enabled to use Genesis Start if it uses:

• the simplified structure; this includes any project generated through Create
• the Genesis Gradle Settings plugin

Enabling

If you need to enable Genesis Start, there are two things that you need to do:

1. Amend the settings file.
2. Amend the build file.

Amending the settings file

In your project's settings.gradle.kts file, add google() to repositories under pluginManagement.

// in repositories under plugin management, add google() at the end:
pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        // other repositories
        google() // <- add this
    }
}

Amending the build file

In your project's build.gradle.kts file, add the plugin:

// add Genesis Start to plugins
plugins {
    // other plugins..
    id("global.genesis.genesis-start-gui") version "0.1.4"
}

Next step

Once the plugin is enabled you can start Genesis Start.
