Java. You need to have Java Development Kit Standard Edition installed. You still can use JDK 1.8, however we strongly advise to use Java 11 or higher for future updates. You may use any Java distribution, for example Temurin JDK.
After installation, make sure to correctly set up the Environment variables in the box “User variables“:
JAVA_HOME=C:Program Files/Java/jdk-11 (or use the actual JDK installation folder)
Add %JAVA_HOME%/bin to the Path variable.
Check the correct installation by entering >java -version from a command line.
Maven. You need to have Apache Maven installed. For instance, for Windows download “apache-maven-3.x.y-bin.zip“.
After unzipping it to “C:Program Files”, make sure to add Maven’s “bin” folder “C:Program Files/apache-maven-3.x.y/bin” to the Path variable in the Environment variables in the box “User variables“.
Check the correct installation by entering >mvn -version from a command line.
P.S. If during the installation you are experiencing issues with downloads from the Maven Repository, please check your proxy settings as described here.
Excel. You will need MS Excel or Google Sheets for rules editing only. You never use Excel formulas and you don’t need Excel in run-time.
Recommend hardware configuration: RAM 8Gb or more and CPU 2.2 GHz or more.
