Local environment

In a local environment, all Genero components and source files are located on a single machine.

A local environment may have a single or multiple developers.

In a local environment with a single developer, the developer works individually with a complete Genero suite stack installed on the developer's local machine. The database may be on the local machine or may be accessed from a remote server. Some group development can be enabled through the use of an external Version Control System.

In a local environment with multiple developers, the Genero Studio, Genero DVM, and front-end client software (GDC/GBC) is on the local machines. These machines connect to database servers and source code on remote machines.
