Install Applications from local file system
In this chapter we will make use of the Foxx manager as described before. This time we want to install an app that is located on our local file system. At this point we have to mention that it if you connect to a remote ArangoDB with
unix> foxx-manager --server.endpoint tcp://example.com:8529
The file has to be available on your local machine, not on the remote server. The only thing you need is the path to your application either relative or absolute. You can install a Foxx application right from a directory:
unix> ls /Users/arangodb/hello-foxx
README.md app.js assets files kaffee.coffee lib
manifest.json models scripts thumbnail.png
unix> foxx-manager install /Users/arangodb/hello-foxx /example
Application hello-foxx version 1.5.0 installed successfully at mount point /example
Or you can pack the application into a zip archive. And then install using this archive.
unix> unzip -l ../hello-foxx.zip
Archive: hello-foxx.zip
