Carlijn Kokkeler 7.1 4 In this microlearning, we'll guide you through the process of installing the eMagiz Mendix Connector. This module, developed by eMagiz, helps seamlessly integrate a Mendix application with eMagiz for efficient data exchange. We’ll cover how to download the correct version of the connector from eMagiz, and then import it into your Mendix project. With these steps, you'll be set up and ready to start configuring and using the eMagiz Mendix Connector.

Erik Bakker 2.1 19 To install an eMagiz Mendix Connector you need the following:
Erik Bakker 1.1 20
Erik Bakker 2.1 21 * The Mendix Module called the eMagiz Mendix Connector (available in eMagiz under Deploy of your project)
22 * Access to a Mendix project which has no eMagiz Mendix Connector in it at this moment.

Erik Bakker 2.1 26 To install the eMagiz Mendix Connector in a Mendix app, the following steps need to be performed.
Erik Bakker 1.1 27
Erik Bakker 9.1 28 === 3.1 Download the eMagiz Mendix connector ===
29
Erik Bakker 2.1 30 * The eMagiz Mendix connector can be downloaded via eMagiz. Log in and then go to one of the busses you have access to.
31 * Go to **Deploy -> On Premises -> Runtime Downloads** the eMagiz Mendix connector can be downloaded.
32 You must look at the column Mendix version. It must correspond to the Mendix version of the project where you want to use the eMagiz Mendix Connector.
33 If you do not do this then the connector will **not** work.

Erik Bakker 9.1 38 === 3.2 Importing eMagiz Mendix connector ===
39
Erik Bakker 2.1 40 Now that we have downloaded the correct eMagiz Mendix connector (the latest version that is available for the Mendix version of our project) we can open Mendix itself.
Erik Bakker 1.1 41
Erik Bakker 2.1 42 If you open your Project in Mendix you can navigate to the left-hand panel called "Project Explorer". In this panel, you see all modules (box icons) that are currently in the project.
43 In Project Explorer, right-click and choose the option "Import module package..."

Eva Torken 5.1 57 == 4. Key takeaways ==
Erik Bakker 1.1 58
Erik Bakker 2.1 59 * The crucial part of installing an eMagiz Mendix Connector is to select the correct version that will work with your Mendix project
Erik Bakker 9.1 60 ** To select the correct eMagiz Mendix Connector version look at the Mendix version your app is running in (8.0.0+,7.0.0+, etc.) and look at which of the versions eMagiz has released is the newest version.
Erik Bakker 2.1 61 * The actual installation in Mendix is simply importing a module package and selecting the correct one. As easy as can be.
