Step 1. Create the App's File

Let's start our journey with preparing a file for our future app: a simple HTML file with included source files of the library.

We will use the standard edition of the DHTMLX Suite in the terrace skin that requires including 2 source files on the page:

  • dhtmlx.js
  • dhtmlx.css
To prepare the app's file:
  1. Download the "dhtmlxSuite " package (link to download), if you haven't already done it.
  2. Create a folder with the name "file_manager " in the root directory of your local web server.
  3. Find the "codebase " folder in the root of the "dhtmlxSuite " package and extract it to the "file_manager " folder.
  4. Find the "skins/terrace/dhtmlx.css " file and copy it to the "codebase " folder (the file will replace the default 'dhtmlx.css' file) to use the 'Terrace' skin in the app.
  5. Create the "index.html " file in the "file_manager " folder.
  6. Include the "dhtmlx.js " and "dhtmlx.css " code files to index.html (both source files reside in the "codebase " folder).

    'index.html' file

    <html>
      <head>
         <title>File manager</title>
         <script src="codebase/dhtmlx.js"></script>     <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="codebase/dhtmlx.css">   </head>
      <body>
        <script>
             //the code of your application
    </script> </body> </html>
