Running Your First Program

After the environment is set up, you will run your first Samsung Smart TV application. Seeing your code execute on the TV emulator for the first time is an exciting milestone and confirms that your development environment is correctly configured.

Who Is This Tutorial For?

This tutorial is designed for developers who are completely new to the Samsung Smart TV platform. No prior Smart TV development experience is required — just a willingness to learn and follow along with the steps provided.

Watch the full video to see each step in action and get your Samsung Smart TV development environment ready for the tutorials that follow in this series.
