What is the IDE Mix?

The IDE Mix is intended to help you as a developer to create, debug and deploy contracts and dapps (both contracts backend and frontend).

WARNING – There are numerous reports of crash-at-boot issues for Mix on OS X. The issue is aHeisenbug which we have been chasing for a month or two. The best workaround we have for right now is to use the Debug configuration, like so:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..

WARNING – A replacement for Mix called Remix is being worked on, so if you are experiencing issues with Mix, you might be better to look for alternatives until Remix is more mature.
