Import App Package
Introduction
To create a new app from an app package (.mpk) file, import the app package. You can store the new app in a version control server or locally on disk.
To import an app package, do the following:
-
Select the File menu in the top bar > Import App Package.
-
Browse to the .mpk file you want to import.
-
Select the relevant options in the Import App Package dialog box and click OK. The sections below describe the available options.
You can create app packages using Export App Package.
Where Should We Store Your App?
Use this setting to select the location where you want to store your app. This can be the Team Server, a private server (a Git server other than the Team Server), or a local disk.
Mendix Team Server
When uploading the app to the Team Server, you can choose between creating a new repository or uploading to an existing one.
New Mendix Team Server
If you select to store your app in a new Team Server, a new Team Server app is created. Enter the name for the new Team Server app and repository in the App name field.
Existing Mendix Team Server
If you want to use an existing repository, select the app in the Team Server App option. Note that this works only when the existing repository is empty.
For more information about the Mendix Team Server, see Team Server.
Private Server
In the App repository address field, enter the address of the repository you want to upload your app to.
Locally on Disk
Select this option if you do not need to upload the new app to a version control server. In this case, the app is only stored on the local disk of the computer running Studio Pro.
App Directory
Use this field to choose the directory where the app files are stored. If version control is enabled, the suggested name ends with -main to indicate this is the main development line of the app.
