Getting started with Optimus

Step 1: Install the optimus-cli utilty

npm install -g optimus-cli

$ optimus doctor

Step 3: Install if optimus doctor reported any missing dependencies.

$ optimus setup

Step 4a: (Only for macOS) Install Xcode manually from App store or via Downloads page and move it to Applications.
Step 4b: (Only for macOS) If you have multiple versions of Xcode installed on your machine then use this command in your in terminal:
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer where xcode is the name of Xcode installed on your machine or the Xcode which you want to use with optimus.
Step 5: Configure Mongodb
If you have installed mongodb using optimus doctor command. You will have to manually create /Data/db folder.

Here is how you do it in terminal
```
sudo mkdir -p /data/db
sudo chmod 777 /data/db
```
try running mongod command in your terminal now, mongo instance should be up and running on port 27017
Step 6: To create a new Optimus project.

$ optimus new <project_name>

Step 7: Once the project is created you can import the project into your favourite IDE. However we love IntelliJ though.

Import Project

Run

Optimus runs your tests in parallel by default. Just connect the devices you need coverage on and choose between one of the following modes to trigger your test run

Fragmentation
Distribution

Suppose you have 5 feature files in your project and 5 devices connected, now in
Fragmentation: All 5 features will run on all 5 devices.

Distributuion: one feature will run on one device.

Your new OptimusTemplate project gets created with a sample test for an example app HelloOptimus you can run your project as shown below.

Step 1: Connect devices(Android or IOs) or create an Android Emulator.

Step 2: Open your favourite terminal and navigate to the project folder.

Step 3: Check for Android Devices or Emulators by running

gradle runFragmentation -DtestFeed=HelloOptimusAndroid -Dtags=@helloOptimus

Note: You will see that HelloOptimus app is launched on all the connected Android Devices and emulators.

Step 4: Check for IOS by running

gradle runFragmentation -DtestFeed=HelloOptimusIOS -Dtags=@helloOptimus

Note: You will see that HelloOptimus app is launched on a IPhone6 Simulator.

First test

With optimus you can create tests either by creating custom steps or by using Generic Steps or a mix of both. You can learn more about the test which ran on your devices by following our Android Tutorial or IOS Tutorial
