The development environment for a Spring Boot 3 and Angular 16 application can be set up on any modern operating system. Ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
Windows 10/11 (64-bit): Suitable for most development setups.
macOS (Big Sur or later): Offers great compatibility with open-source tooling and a Unix-based system.
Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+, Fedora, etc.): Popular among developers for its performance, flexibility, and ease of use in programming environments.
Spring Boot 3 requires Java 17 (LTS version) as it offers long-term support and compatibility.
Version: Java 17 (LTS).
Installation Guide:
: Official JDK from Oracle with licensing and support.
: Free and open-source implementation.
Verify Installation: Once installed, verify by running the following command:
It should display Java 17.
Node.js is essential for Angular development, as it powers the Angular CLI, package management, and builds.
Version: Node.js 18+ (for Angular 16+).
Installation Guide:
Verify Installation: After installing, verify by running:
The Angular CLI helps you scaffold and manage Angular applications.
Version: Angular CLI 16.x.
Installation Command: Install Angular CLI globally via npm:
Verify Installation: Run ng version to confirm the CLI is properly installed.
Spring Boot simplifies the development of Java-based enterprise applications by providing pre-configured templates and reducing boilerplate.
Version: Spring Boot 3.x.
Build Tool: Maven (preferred) or Gradle.
Installation Command (Maven): Maven is a build automation tool used for managing dependencies and packaging your Spring Boot project.
Verify Installation: After installing Maven, verify with:
You’ll need integrated development environments (IDEs) that support Java and TypeScript for backend and frontend development, respectively.
IDE for Backend (Spring Boot):
IDE for Frontend (Angular):
Docker and Docker Compose are only required if you want to set up dummy data locally using the amrit-devops repository. This setup includes pre-configured databases (MySQL and MongoDB) and Redis, so you do not need to manually install MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis (steps 8, 9, and 10) if using Docker.
Docker:
Version: Docker 20.10+.
Verify Installation:
Docker Compose:
Version: Docker Compose 2.1+.
Verify Installation:
If you are not using Docker, the AMRIT platform requires a database. We use MySQL and MongoDB.
MySQL:
Version: MySQL 8+.
After installation, use MySQL Workbench or the command line to manage your database.
Configure your Spring Boot application with the required database connection properties in the application.properties file.
MongoDB:
Version: MongoDB 6.0+.
After installation, use MongoDB Compass or the command line to manage your database.
Configure your Spring Boot application with the required MongoDB connection properties in the application.properties file.
If you are not using Docker, Redis is used for caching to improve performance.
Redis:
Redis is integrated into Spring Boot via the spring-data-redis library.
Git: Version control system.
Verify Installation:
NVM (Node Version Manager): To manage multiple Node.js versions if needed.
Browser: The latest version of Google Chrome, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge is recommended for testing and debugging Angular apps.
Memory Allocation: Spring Boot applications, especially large ones, may require a substantial amount of memory. Allocate 2 GB or more to the JVM to avoid performance issues during development.
