17 | |||
18 | * The Mendix Module called the eMagiz Mendix Connector (available in eMagiz under Deploy of your project) | ||
19 | * Access to a Mendix project which has no eMagiz Mendix Connector in it at this moment. | ||
20 | |||
21 | == 3. Install an eMagiz Mendix Connector | ||
22 | |||
23 | To install the eMagiz Mendix Connector in a Mendix app, the following steps need to be performed. | ||
24 | |||
25 | === 3.1 Download the eMagiz Mendix connector | ||
26 | * The eMagiz Mendix connector can be downloaded via eMagiz. Log in and then go to one of the busses you have access to. | ||
27 | * Go to **Deploy -> On Premises -> Runtime Downloads** the eMagiz Mendix connector can be downloaded. | ||
28 | 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 | === 3.2 Importing eMagiz Mendix connector | ||
34 | |||
35 | 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. | ||
36 | |||
37 | 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. | ||
38 | In Project Explorer, right-click and choose the option "Import module package..." | ||
