Getting Started
Welcome to the Emuluxe Simulation Foundry. This guide is designed to take you from a fresh install to your first high-fidelity simulation in under two minutes.
Step 1: Create Your Account
The first step in your journey to mobile excellence is logging into the Emuluxe platform. This will be your hub for managing projects, team collaboration, and AI audit history.
- Navigate to app.emuluxe.com/login.
- Complete the registration process.
- Once logged in, you'll be greeted by your Organization Overview.
Step 2: Choose Your Forge
Emuluxe provides two primary ways to access the simulation engine. You can use either, but for the best experience, we recommend setting up both:
- The Foundry (Browser Extension): Best for day-to-day web development and testing directly within your browser tabs.
- The IDE Forge (VS Code & Cursor): Best for debugging and live-previewing mobile experiences while writing code.
Step 3: Installation & Sign-In
For the Browser Extension
- Visit the Chrome Web Store and search for Emuluxe.
- Click Add to Chrome.
- Pin the Emuluxe icon to your browser toolbar.
- Click the icon and select Sign In to sync with your platform account.
For VS Code / Cursor
- Open your editor's extension marketplace.
- Search for Emuluxe and click Install.
- Click the Emuluxe logo in the sidebar and log in using your platform credentials.
Step 4: Your First Simulation
Launching a high-fidelity simulation is simple:
- Navigate: Go to any website you wish to test in a new tab.
- Activate: Click the Emuluxe icon in your browser toolbar (or open the IDE panel).
- Select Device: In the Selection tab, choose a device profile (e.g., iPhone 16 Pro).
- Simulate: The page will instantly transform into a pixel-perfect mobile environment, complete with hardware safing and network fidelity.
