Installation

Prerequisites

• Mendix Studio Pro 10.12.x or later (Windows only)
• an existing Mendix project
• Download a release

The following two steps are needed for now because MxLint Extension is still in Beta. One day you will not need to do these anymore as an end-user.

Allow unsigned code

MxLint-CLI is not signed yet. The extension automatically downloads the CLI and other dependencies. To allow CLI to run you must

• Open Powershell as Administrator and then run:

  Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
  

• After that reboot your machine

Above should only be needed once.

Enable Developer extensions in Studio Pro

Mendix Studio needs to be started with a special flag. To enable this:

• Create a shortcut to your Mendix Studio Pro if you don't have it on your desktop already
• Right click on the shortcut and choose Properties
• In the Target, append the following string --enable-extension-development after the double quote. Make sure to have a space after this right most double quote.

Now your Studio pro is ready to use Extensions.

Steps

The following must be done for each project you want to add this extension:

• Create a directory called extensions inside of your project directory
• Unpack the zipfile into the extensions directory. You will see a directory at $project/extensions/MxLintExtension
• Open Mendix Studio pro with extension development flag
• Open your app
