The below links mostly point to downloads for Windows, but Linux is fine to use too.


Required

Java 11 or greater is recommended although Java 1.8 is fine for me. NOTE: Update the Java version in your local pom.xml to match the version on your local machine.

Install Node.js from the Node.js website (recommended to use an LTS 64-bit version). Includes npm package manager.

Version control system for tracking changes, and pushing/pulling to/from GitHub

Used to store Docker images of local MySQL database, and local web-app if you wish


Recommended

Java 11 upwards recommended but not essential. Install JHipster using Node.js: npm install -g generator-jhipster

Alternatively any Java IDE is fine.


Optional

May be required if using Docker for Windows but you will be prompted when installing Docker


Not required

A Maven Wrapper is included in the project source-code, so no need to install Maven.

The preference is to run MySQL images in Docker
