Steps For Installing CAPM Locally

Step 1: Set NPM registry of SAP®

NPM registry points to a place where libraries are present. When NPM installs a package, then it looks to that place to find the library.

Example: Suppose, you have a registry at www.mycoolrepo.com where you are having your xyz library(or module). When you use npm install xyz it should search your www.mycoolrepo.com for the xyz module, then download that to the current project where you are working.

In the case of CAPM and related development, we are going to use https://npm.sap.com NPM registry to install required Node Modules

Copy
npm set @sap:registry=https://npm.sap.com

Step 2: Confirm installation

We will list all the NPM repository present in our computer

Copy
npm config list

On successful Installation we will see npm.sap.com as registry:

Step 3: Install @sap/cds

@sap/cds will provide us cds command access in terminal/command prompt. Using cds we will be able to:

• Create
• Run
• Build

CAPM Code Locally.

We can -g flag with the command to install @sap/cds-dk globally

Copy
npm install -g @sap/cds-dk

Step 4: Confirm installation

To confirm installation of @sap/cds use command

Copy
cds

You will get the output as shown below

Copy
USAGE
    cds <command> [<args>]
    cds <src>  =  cds compile <src>
    cds        =  cds help
COMMANDS
    i | init       jump-start cds-based projects
    c | compile    process models selectively
    m | import     add models from external sources
    s | serve      run servers locally
    r | repl       read-eval-event loop
    e | env        get/set cds configuration
    b | build      prepare for deployment
    d | deploy     e.g. to databases or cloud
    v | version    get detailed version information
    ? | help       get detailed usage information
    Learn more about each with:
    cds help <command> or
    cds <command> ?

Step 5: Search modules inside registry

You can search inside https://npm.sap.com registry to see all packages it contains with command

Copy
npm search --registry https://npm.sap.com sap
