CLIO Developer Guide

From CLIO

Overview

Developers code the CLIO activities, create or modify activity types, and provide insights into technology integration.

Preparation

Creating a Local Development Environment


CLIO is a web-based application, which means that it needs to be developed on your local machine using a Local Web Development Environment (LWDE).  There are many free and open-source Local Web Development Environments available, which quickly create a local web server with all of the required tools. These software packages can also be used to quickly create kiosks.

Installation

CLIO needs to be installed on a web server.  There is no setup process for databases, meaning that the CLIO web application files can be dragged directly to the applicable web server folder and accessed without installation. 

Accessing CLIO

Once CLIO has been installed on your web server, you can access it through your web browser. For local web development, you can navigate to http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/.
