Install the alpha version of the platform

There are situations when you need to test the alpha version of your platform changes on a certain module. In this case, you create a NuGet package with the alpha version without making a release. You cannot add this package to your solution using standard methods.

If you want to install the alpha version of the platform, you need to do the following:

  1. Delete all files from virto-local except vc-package.json
  2. Inside vc-package.json, the last two lines describing the platform should look like this:
    1. “PlatformVersion”: “3.912.0”, // where 3.912.0 is the latest version of the platform
    2. “PlatformAssetUrl”: “https://vc3prerelease.blob.core.windows.net/packages/VirtoCommerce.Platform.3.913.0-alpha.13154-vcst-4101-data-anonymization.zip” // here is a link to your alpha package build
  3. Then run vc-build install (!!! It is important to run it exactly like this, without any additions - edge, -version, etc. !!!)
  4. Done
