.mda file in linux

0
Is there any way to create a .mda file on Linux without using Mendix Studio Pro? I’m setting up CI/CD for a Mendix application and need the .mda package for the Docker build process. If I’m working only on a Linux environment (no access to Windows or Mendix Studio Pro), is there a way to generate the .mda file directly from the Git repository as part of an automated pipeline? Or is using Mendix Studio Pro on Windows the only option?

To get the file to your Linux system, you must maintain a separate repository folder .

From your Windows system, push the project to Git, then clone that same repository onto your Linux machine.

 

 

  1. On your Windows machine:
    • Initialize a Git repository in your project directory (git init).
    • Add your files to the repository and make an initial commit.
    • Create a repository on a remote Git hosting service (e.g., GitHub).
    • Add the remote repository as an origin for your local repository (git remote add origin <url>).
    • Push your changes to the remote repository (git push -u origin main).
  2. On your Linux machine:
    • Clone the repository from the remote hosting service to your system (git clone <url>).

You need to the following docs

 

You can also run MxBuild under Linux using the following command line format: mxbuild --java-home="JDKDirectory" --java-exe-path="javaExecutable" [options] projectFile
