Step 4: Build your project

You're now ready to build the spatial and custom apps for the sample project. The sample project includes a helper script that builds these apps for you.

Docker

The script will launch a Docker container using the Docker image that you created when you set up your local environment. The script runs your build in an Amazon Linux environment in the Docker container. It writes the build artifacts and their dependencies to your project-folder\build folder in Windows.

To build your project

  1. If you aren't there already, go to the tools folder for your project and platform. Your project-folder is path\project-name using the values that you provided when you created the project.

    At a Windows command prompt, enter:

    cd project-folder\tools\windows

  2. Use the helper script to build the project.

    .\build-project-name.bat
WSL
