Hi Richard! Happy to see you want to give it a spin. It looks like there may be a bit of confusion, you do need to actually start the platform first before you can create new web apps.
On Windows with a JDK installed, you need to run a command that looks like this: java -jar start.jar -Dderby.system.home=<path to hivemind>\derby This would start up the platform, goto http://localhost:7000 login with: developer/developer At this point you can create a new application or play with the existing applications including the platform IDE itself. Let me know if you need a skype session, happy to help. -Edmond On Wed, Sep 28, 2016 at 2:12 PM, Richard Heintze <[email protected]> wrote: > Wow!
