While I was writing scenario applications to test Google App Engine, I had the following idea: If BBEdit, Dreamweaver, CSSEdit, and TextMate were at a party, what kind of application would be welcomed to help with App Engine development? As silly as this sounds, it led me to think more about workflow. I used:
- a few applications for Python, CSS, HTML, and JavaScript.
- the command line to run applications and to view logs.
- a browser to test locally and to access the local developer console.
- the command line to deploy the application.
- a browser to view a live application's dashboard.
I began to think about how unfriendly command line interfaces can be, and how much repetitive typing I had been doing to test and deploy applications. With that said, I worked with John Grabowski of the Google Mac team and Brett Slatkin, an engineer on App Engine, on a 20% project to make Google App Engine Launcher for Mac OS X.
Download Google App Engine SDK 1.9 for Mac from our software library for free. The latest setup file that can be downloaded is 63.3 MB in size. This free software for Mac OS X was originally designed by Google. Itools free download mac. This Mac download was scanned by our antivirus and was rated as virus free. If you are missing the short-cut, you can find the launcher in the launcher subdirectory of your App Engine installation. The default location is C: Program Files Google googleappengine launcher GoogleAppEngineLauncher.exe In Mac OSX, the Launcher is installed by dragging it out of the.dmg to a location specified by the user. It improves your App Engine development experience by managing a list of your applications. With a few clicks you can run, browse, deploy, and view logs for your applications. It also has some added sugar thrown in like drag and drop, integration with your editor, and quick links to the local developer console and the live application dashboard. Set up your computer for developing, deploying, and managing your apps in App Engine. The instructions for setting up your computer differ by App Engine environment, either the standard environment or the flexible environment. For help with choosing, see a summary of differences between the two environments.
Mac os x 10.5 iso. Now, App Engine Launcher is not a replacement for your code editor or your IDE. It improves your App Engine development experience by managing a list of your applications. With a few clicks you can run, browse, deploy, and view logs for your applications. It also has some added sugar thrown in like drag and drop, integration with your editor, and quick links to the local developer console and the live application dashboard.

Prerequisites:- For developing on GAE using Python run-time you will need to install first the Python run-time in your local machine. You can find the binary installers for Windows, Linux and Mac at
http://www.python.org/download/Note: For windows users you must use the correct Python installer depending if you have a 64-bit or a 32-bit Windows version. Follow this simple guide from Yahoo Answers to check which one is best for you:
Windows VistaMethod 1
1. Click Start, type system in the Start Search box, and then click system in the Programs list.
2. The operating system appears as follows:
• For a 64-bit version operating system: 64-bit Operating System appears for the System type under System.
• For a 32-bit version operating system: 32-bit Operating System appears for the System type under System.
Method 2
1. Click Start, type system in the Start Search box, and then click System Information in the Programs list.
2. The operating system appears as follows:
• For a 64-bit version operating system: x64-based PC appears for the System type under Item.
• For a 32-bit version operating system: x86-based PC appears for the System type under Item.
Microsoft Windows XP ProfessionalMethod 1
1. Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
2. Click the General tab. The operating system appears as follows:
• For a 64-bit version operating system: Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Version < Year> appears under System.
• For a 32-bit version operating system: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version< Year> appears under System.
Note <Year> is a placeholder for a year.
Method 2
1. Click Start, click Run, type winmsd.exe, and then click OK.
2. In the details pane, locate Processor under Item. Note the value.
• If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with x86, the computer is running a 32-bit version of the Windows operating system.
• If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with ia64 or AMD64, the computer is running a 64-bit version of the Windows operating system.
Microsoft Windows Server 2003Method 1
1. Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
2. Click the General tab. The operating system appears as follows:
• For a 64-bit version operating system: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition appears under System.
• For a 32-bit version operating system: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition appears under System.
Method 2
1. Click Start, click Run, type winmsd.exe, and then click OK.
2. In the details pane, locate Processor under Item. Note the value.
• If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with x86, the computer is running a 32-bit version of the Windows operating system.
• If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with EM64T or ia64, the computer is running a 64-bit version of the Windows operating system.
Finally, Intel Itanium-based computers can only run 64-bit versions of Windows. Intel Itanium-based computers cannot run a 32-bit Windows operating system. Currently, 64-bit versions of Windows only run on Itanium-based computers and AMD64-based computers.
Note: For Linux users you must also check if you are using a 64-bit or 32-bit kernel by issuing as root the shell command 'uname -m' without quotes. - For developing on GAE using Java run-time you need to install first the Java SE run-time edition (JRE). Most windows machines already comes with Java installed but its best to get the latest JRE and the Java SDK as well from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp which contains all the installers for Windows and Linux. Mac users can get ti directly from the official Apple developer site at http://developer.apple.com/java/download/Note: There are two versions of Java, namely the Standard Edition (SE) and the Enterprise Edition (EE). I would recommend using SE and here is difference as explained on DevShed forums between two editions:
'Enterprise edition is largely web based applications. Servlets, JSPs, Java Beans, etc. You can put a swing or applet front on a j2ee application but the bulk of the application is still going to be something server based that a bunch of people have to connect to.
J2SE is mostly for local applications that don't require enterprise servers behind them.'
Note: Linux users can follow the guide from Sun on how to install Java found at http://java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml while for specific distributions check this list:- For Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
- For CentOs, RedHat and Fedora: http://www.sysadmin.md/install-java-on-centos-redhat-fedora.html
Google App Engine Launcher Download
Google App Launcher For Windows
Google Launcher App For Android
- Download the Google App Engine SDK, you can find both the GAE Python run-time and Java (early look) run-time SDKs at http://code.google.com/appengine/downloads.htmlNote: For Mac users, the SDK and Launcher is included in the single .dmg package.
- Run the downloaded installer, if you have performed the prerequisite steps properly the installer will be able to detect the Python or Java SE run-time installed, if not; it will prompt you to install them first.
- For Windows users you can download the Unofficial GoogleAppEngineLauncher for Windows at http://code.google.com/p/gaelwin/
- Congratulations, you are now ready to start writing your first Google App Engine application. Check the Table of Contents to find out what you can do next.
