Local Environments
In a local Genero Studio environment, developers work individually, with a complete Genero suite stack installed for each developer working on his local machine. The database can be on developers local machines, or accessed from remote servers. Some group development can be enabled through the use of an external Version Control System.
Figure 1. One or Multiple Users local database
In a local environment with multiple developers, the Genero Studio, Genero DVM, and front-end client software (GDC/GWC) is on the local machines. These machines connect to database servers and source code on remote machines.

Remote Environments
In a remote environment, installation is done on the remote server and
accessed by developers from their client machines.
- Genero applications are compiled, debugged, and executed on a remote server.
- Genero Studio Server must be installed on the remote server.
- Allows for the preservation of C function calls/libraries and/or system calls.
- Requires SSH access as well as Samba/NFS mounts.
The relational databases that the applications access can be stored on the same remote server as Genero Studio server, or on separate servers.
