# Installing CADViewer

## CADViewer Install instructions - Angular JS

1A: Install Angular App reference sample testing CADViewer API Canvas: *npm i cadviewer-testapp-angular-v01*

**NOTE: Please use [Github](https://github.com/CADViewer/cadviewer-testapp-angular-v01) to download/clone this sample: [cadviewer-testapp-angular-v01](https://github.com/CADViewer/cadviewer-testapp-angular-v01) as the preferred route!** 


As an alternative:

2A: Install CADViewer canvas API standalone with: *npm i cadviewer*   

2B: There are some general image, style and XML configuration files that CADViewer needs during execution, please download [angular_src_asset_folder_cadviewer_6_4.zip](https://cadviewer.com/downloads/handlers/angular/angular_src_asset_folder_cadviewer_6_4.zip) and place in your Angular /src/assets/ project folder.   

2C: In *angular.json* , reference the cadviewer related stylesheets from /src/assets/:

            "styles": [
              "src/styles.css",
              "src/assets/cadviewer/app/css/bootstrap.min.css",              
              "src/assets/cadviewer/app/css/jquery.qtip.min.css",
              "src/assets/cadviewer/app/css/jquery-ui-1.11.4.min.css",
              "src/assets/cadviewer/app/css/bootstrap-multiselect.css",
              "src/assets/cadviewer/app/css/cvjs_6.4.css"
            ],



For both method 1: and 2:, then do the following: 


Download the NodeJS CAD Conversion server (or alternatively the PHP, .NET or Servlet Server implementations):  Go to:  https://cadviewer.com/download/, register and receive email and then download from **CADViewer Handler/Connector Scripts**.

Download the CAD Converter AutoXchange 2020:  Go to: https://cadviewer.com/download/, register and receive email and then download from **AutoXchange 2020 Downloads**.

Use the Github [cadviewer-testapp-angular-v01](https://github.com/CADViewer/cadviewer-testapp-angular-v01) as reference sample. This sample illustrates initialization and loading of CADViewer as well as illustrates the functional interface for highlight and adding interactive image content to the CAD canvas. 

Note that the path book-keeping is important for proper initialization, where the ServerBackEndUrl and ServerLocation is the location and Url of the CAD Server and ServerUrl is the Url of the Angular application encapulating CADViewer. 


		var ServerBackEndUrl = "http://localhost:3000/";
		var ServerUrl = "http://localhost:4200/";
		var ServerLocation = "c:/nodejs/cadviewerServer/";
