How to set up Rapid Development Environment
Learn how to set up Rapid Development Environment (RDE) in AEM as a Cloud Service.
This video shows:
- Adding an RDE to your program using Cloud Manager
- RDE login flow using Adobe IMS, how it is similar to any other AEM as a Cloud Service environment
- Setup of Adobe I/O Runtime Extensible CLI also known as the
aio CLI - Setup and configuration of AEM RDE and Cloud Manager
aio CLIplugin
Prerequisite
The following should be installed locally:
Local setup
To deploy the WKND Sites Project’s code and content onto the RDE from your local machine, complete the following steps.
Adobe I/O Runtime Extensible CLI
Install the Adobe I/O Runtime Extensible CLI, also known as the aio CLI by running the following command from the command line.
$ npm install -g @adobe/aio-cli
AEM plugins
Install Cloud Manager and AEM RDE plugins by using the aio cli’s plugins:install command.
$ aio plugins:install @adobe/aio-cli-plugin-cloudmanager
$ aio plugins:install @adobe/aio-cli-plugin-aem-rde
The Cloud Manager plugin, allows developers to interact with Cloud Manager from the command line.
The AEM RDE plugin, allows developers to deploy code and content from the local machine.
Also, to update the plugins use the aio plugins:update command.
Configure AEM plugins
The AEM plugins must be configured to interact with your RDE. First, using the Cloud Manager UI, copy the values of the Organization, Program, and Environment ID.
-
Organization ID: Copy the value from Profile Picture > Account info(internal) > Modal Window > Current Org ID
-
Program ID: Copy the value from Program Overview > Environments > {ProgramName}-rde > Browser URI > numbers between
program/and/environment -
Environment ID: Copy the value from Program Overview > Environments > {ProgramName}-rde > Browser URI > numbers after
environment/
-
Then, by using the
aio cli’sconfig:setcommand set these values by running the following command.code language-shell $ aio config:set cloudmanager_orgid <org-id> $ aio config:set cloudmanager_programid <program-id> $ aio config:set cloudmanager_environmentid <env-id>
You can verify the current config values by running the following command.
$ aio config:list
Also, to switch or know which organization you are currently logged in to, you can use the below command.
$ aio where
Verify RDE access
Verify the AEM RDE plugin installation and configuration by running the following command.
$ aio aem:rde:status
The RDE status information is displayed like environment status, the list of your AEM project bundles and configurations on author and publish service.
Next Step
Learn how to use an RDE to deploy code and content from your favorite Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for faster development cycles.
