Setup

Membrane Web IDE

Membrane’s primary interface is the Membrane Web IDE. The IDE is where you deploy Membrane programs, set up cron jobs, inspect logs, and more.

Visit membrane.io/ide to get started.

Tip

You can open these docs as a webview in the IDE. Open the command palette (cmd/ctrl+shift+p) and type Open docs.

Orienting yourself

When the IDE starts up, you’ll see:

1. Program Navigator (left sidebar)
2. Membrane Logs (bottombar)
3. Program Details (right sidebar)
4. Welcome instructions & open program file, hello-world/index.ts

There are four Membrane programs pre-installed in your workspace:

1. http
2. email
3. sms
4. hello-world

We’ll cover each of these in subsequent sections. For now, continue to the next section to create your first program.
