Create your free trial access token here: [Create Access Token](https://www.textcontrol.com/product/client-package/token/) 2. Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) and npm, if not done before. 3. Open a Command Prompt and install the [Angular CLI](https://github.com/angular/angular-cli) globally by typing in the following command: ``` npm install -g @angular/cli ``` This tutorial uses Visual Studio Code that can be [downloaded](https://code.visualstudio.com/) for free. #### Creating the Angular Project 1. Open a command prompt and create a new project and default application by typing the following command ``` ng new my-viewer-app --no-standalone ``` Follow the prompts, confirming *CSS* as your preferred stylesheet format and 'N' to disable server-side rendering and static page generation. 2. Change to the folder that you created by typing the following command in the command prompt: ``` cd my-viewer-app ``` 3. Run the following command to install the TX Text Control document editor package: ``` npm i @txtextcontrol/tx-ng-document-viewer ``` 4. Open this folder in Visual Studio Code by typing in the following command: ``` code . ``` 5. In Visual Studio Code, open the file *src -> app -> app.module.ts*, replace the complete content with the following code and save it: ``` import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { DocumentViewerModule } from '@txtextcontrol/tx-ng-document-viewer'; import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module'; import { AppComponent } from './app.component'; @NgModule({ declarations: [ AppComponent ], imports: [ BrowserModule, AppRoutingModule, DocumentViewerModule ], providers: [], bootstrap: [AppComponent] }) export class AppModule { } ``` 6. Open the file *src -> app -> app.component.html*, replace the complete content with the following code, replace *yourtoken* with your given [Trial Access Token](https://www.textcontrol.com/product/client-package/token/) and save it: ``` ``` > **Backend Server** > > The code above uses a hosted demo backend server specified by the *basePath* property. If you are hosting your own required backend server, replace the URL with your backend endpoint. 7. Back in the command prompt, start the Angular application by typing in the following command: ``` ng serve --open ``` --- ## About Bjoern Meyer As CEO, Bjoern is the visionary behind our strategic direction and business development, bridging the gap between our customers and engineering teams.
