Get the required software for Linux or macOS

This page explains how to get the software you need to use a Linux or macOS machine for local development. Before you begin contributing you must have:

• a GitHub account
• Java 13 or newer
• git
• docker

Installing prerequisites on macOS

1. Install brew.

2. Install brew cask:

   > brew cask
   

   3Install JDK 13 via Homebrew cask:

   > brew tap adoptopenjdk/openjdk
   > brew install adoptopenjdk13
   

Tips

Consider allocating not less than 4GB of memory for your docker. Otherwise, some apps within a stack (e.g. kafka-ui.yaml) might crash.
