Import an existing project

You can also create a project by importing existing source.

The plugin checks if "algo-package.json" file is available at the project root or not and accordingly it enables or disables "Algorand" function.

1. Create a file "algo-package.json" in the project root folder with the following content.

{
  "name": "<project_name>",
  "version": "<version>"
}

Note: Replace <project_name> and <version> with actual values.

2. To import the source, click on File > New > Project From Existing Source.

3. Select the existing source root folder. Click next.

​

4. Now you should see, "Algorand" menu option in the project popup menu. If you don't see the menu item, wait for sometime or restart the IDE.
