Technical Details for Lab Exercises (please set up ahead of time)
Note that though M2X, Flow Designer, and TI LaunchPads work with most operating systems, only Mac OS and Windows are supported during the DevLab.
 
Installing Postman and cURL for the Lab Exercises
The lab exercises use Postman and cURL so please install them before the event.
<A STYLE="line-height: 1.6em;" HREF="http://www.getpostman.com/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Postman</A>
We will use cURL for the M2X API lab exercises but you can also use Postman (a free Chrome add-in) if you prefer. You can download Postman at <A HREF="http://www.getpostman.com" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.getpostman.com</A> and the Chrome browser at <A HREF="http://www.google.com/chrome" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.google.com/chrome</A>.  
<A STYLE="line-height: 1.6em;" HREF="http://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz?type=bin" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">cURL</A>
For the lab exercises we will use cURL, a powerful command-line tool for making HTTP calls.
Pre-requisites: Windows 7 or later (cURL is already installed on Mac computers)
 
Downloading curl
Use the following steps to install curl:
<DIV>
<UL>
<LI>Open <A HREF="http://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz?type=bin" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz?type=bin</A> in a browser.</LI>
<LI>Select your operating system in the dropdown box: either Windows /Win32 or Win 64. Click Select!</LI>
<LI>For Win 32, choose whether you will use curl in a Windows Command Prompt (Generic) or in a Cygwin terminal (cygwin). For Win 64, choose whether you will use curl in a Windows Command Prompt (Generic) or MinGW (MinGW64). Click Select!</LI>
<LI>If required, choose your Windows operating system. Finish.</LI>
<LI>Click Download for the version which has SSL enabled.</LI>
<LI>Choose a version with support for SSL.</LI>
<LI>Open the downloaded zip file. Extract the files to an easy-to-find place, such as C:\Program Files.</LI>
</UL>
<H3>Testing curl</H3>
<UL>
<LI>Open up the Windows Command Prompt terminal. (From the Start menu, click Run, then type cmd.)</LI>
<LI>Set the path to include the directory where you put curl.exe. For example, if you put it in C:\Program Files\curl, then you would type the following command:</LI>
</UL>
<DIV>
set path=%path%;"c:\Program Files\curl"
</DIV>
<UL>
<LI>Type curl.</LI>
</UL>
You should see the following message:
<DIV>
curl: try 'curl –help' or 'curl –message' for more information
</DIV>
This means that curl is installed and the path is correct.
<UL>
<LI>Type:</LI>
</UL>
<DIV>
curl <A HREF="https://api-m2x.att.com/v2/status?pretty" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://api-m2x.att.com/v2/status?pretty</A>
</DIV>
You should see JSON returned:
<DIV>
{
  "api":"OK",
  "triggers":"OK"
} 
</DIV>
<H3>  </H3>
