Testing the Package Manager Server

Purpose

When testing the package manager, don't send your test packages to the production server. Use the staging server. This prevents your packages from polluting real packages and activity. It's easy to configure Dynamo to use the staging server.

How to use the staging server

In the Dynamo install directory, find a file called DynamoPackages.dll.config. It will contain a line like this:

<add key="packageManagerAddress" value="https://www.dynamopackages.com" />

Simply change this to point to the staging server at http://107.20.146.184/. So now, it should look like this:

<add key="packageManagerAddress" value="http://107.20.146.184/" />

Gotchas

• Make sure the staging server is set to http, not https!
