Manual installation

For installation without Node.js follow this manual installation procedure.

1. Install the appmap package

Add the @appland/appmap-agent-js package to the package.json file of your project with npm or yarn:

npm install @appland/appmap-agent-js

2. Create a file named appmap.yml in the root folder of your project

Add your application modules and source (or binary) folders to appmap.yml

For projects with JavaScript source maps: add paths to sources to be recorded. For example:

name: MyApp
packages:
  - path: src/controllers
  - path: src/data
  - path: src/lib
  - path: src/models
  - path: src/routes

For projects without JavaScript source maps: include build folders. For example:

name: MyApp
packages:
  - path: dist/controllers
  - path: dist/data
  - path: dist/lib
  - path: dist/models
  - path: dist/routes

If you aren’t sure which option to take, start with both source and build folders and optimize the appmap.yml file later.
