In this tutorial we will implement simple ACS components in Python, Java and C++, but first we must  perform some configurations on ACS before coding our components.

Set $INTROOT environment variable

Visit ACS Directory Structure#INTROOT for full details. This directory is where our components will be installed.

export INTROOT=~/workspace/introot
getTemplateForDirectory INTROOT $INTROOT

Pro tip: you can set $INTROOT in your ~/.bashrc to avoid setting $INTROOT manually in every new terminal.

echo INTROOT=~/workspace/introot >> ~/.bashrc
