Introduction:
Apollo is the code name for a new cross-operating system runtime being developed by Adobe that allows web developers to leverage their existing web development skills (such as Flash, Flex, HTML, JavaScript, and PDF) to build and deploy Rich Internet Applications and content to the desktop.
 
To install apollo you have 2 choices, wheather to install extension to use with flex builder or install apollo SDK which is a free of charge so will discuss here how to install the free of charge one :)
 
You need the following for a successful apollo installation:
  • Java SDK or JRE(1.4.2 is recommended)
  • Flex SDK (not Flex Builder)
  • Apollo SDK
 
Instructions:
  1. Unzip the “flex_sdk_2.zip” to either “C:\Program files\flex_sdk_2″ or to “C:\flex_sdk_2″
  2. Unzip the “apollo_sdk.zip” in the flex_sdk floder overwriting 2 files
  3. Adding the string ;C:\flex_sdk_2\bin to the enviromental variable path and i’ll show in pictures how to do it
  4. Type amxmlc on you command prompt to check if everything went all right
Right-click “My Computer” -> Properties
Step1
 
Go to “Advanced” Tab and click on “Environmental Variables”
