A Note Before You Begin

You can read the walk-through without actually performing the steps, or you can perform them as you read along. If you want to perform the steps as we go, do the following before starting:

  1. Create a directory somewhere on your system named helloWorld.

  2. Within helloWorld create a sub-directory named anything you like. I named mine hello.

  3. Within the subdirectory place several—say 5—files. For speed, text-type files should be used. These files represent the artifacts that will be deployed. We will create a component that contains these files.

Reminder: If you want to perform the exercise steps, ensure that you have an active agent installed.
