Installation ​

The first step to using NextFTC is installing it. There are two ways to install it.

Method 1: Quickstart Repo (new project) ​

The easiest way to install NextFTC is by using the quickstart. In addition to having NextFTC preinstalled, it also has all the example code created in the guides on these docs. To install the quickstart, do one of the following:

  1. In Android Studio, go to Main Menu -> File -> New -> Project from Version Control. For URL, enter https://github.com/rowan-mcalpin/NextFTC-Quickstart.git.
  2. OR in the directory you want to install it in, run git clone https://github.com/rowan-mcalpin/NextFTC-Quickstart.git. Make sure you have git installed first.

Method 2: Manually using Gradle (existing project) ​

Installing NextFTC using Gradle is fairly simple. This tutorial assumes you haven't modified your Gradle files..

Step 1: Add the repositories ​

Open your build.dependencies.gradle file. Inside, you should see two "blocks" of code. The top one is the repositories block. Add the following lines to it:

groovy
maven { url = "https://maven.rowanmcalpin.com/" }
maven { url = "https://maven.pedropathing.com/" } // Remove if you don't intend to use PedroPathing
maven { url = "https://maven.brott.dev/" } // Remove if you don't intend to use the FTC Dashboard (required if using PedroPathing)

Step 2: Add the dependencies ​

Still in the build.dependencies.gradle file, go to the dependencies block. Add the following lines to the bottom:

groovy
implementation 'com.rowanmcalpin.nextftc:core:0.6.1'
implementation 'com.rowanmcalpin.nextftc:ftc:0.6.1'
implementation 'com.rowanmcalpin.nextftc:pedro:0.6.1' // Remove if you don't intend to use PedroPathing
implementation 'com.pedropathing:pedro:Loading...' // Remove if you don't intend to use PedroPathing
implementation 'com.acmerobotics.dashboard:dashboard:0.4.16' // Remove if you don't intend to use the FTC Dashboard (required if using PedroPathing)

Step 3: Sync Gradle ​

Click the Sync Now button that appeared as a banner at the top of your Gradle file.

You're good to go!
