Join Kevin Ford for an in-depth discussion in this video Set up the App Center CLI, part of Visual Studio App Center for Developers.
- [Narrator] To run automated tests…in Visual Studio App Center,…we need to install the VSAC command line interface.…This is installed by using Note Package Manager.…It requires version 6.3 or later.…However, there is a problem with Note in version 7.1.0…so if you have that version, you may have to update.…To check what version of Note we have,…we can simply type in MPM and version.…And here we see we have 9.4.0, so we're good.…
If we find we don't have Note installed,…or we don't have the right version,…then we will need to download it.…To install the CLI, we can now type…sudo NPM install minus g, and the app center CLI.…And I'll put in my sudo password, and it's installing.…To make sure it installs correctly, we can type…appcenter and help.…
And there it is.…Running from the command lines assumes…that we've already created an IPA for our project.…If you have not done so, do so now.…Let's go to Visual Studio.…We want to create an archive for our iOS project.…To do that, we click on the iOS project,…make sure we have the QA configuration selected,…
