Software dependencies

1. Operating System:

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.

2. Java Development Kit (JDK):

Spring Boot 3 requires Java 17 (LTS version) as it offers long-term support and compatibility.

• Version: Java 17 (LTS).

• Installation Guide:

  • Oracle JDK: Official JDK from Oracle with licensing and support.

  • OpenJDK: Free and open-source implementation.

• Verify Installation: Once installed, verify by running the following command:

  java -version

  It should display Java 17.

3. Node.js and npm (for Angular 16):

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:

  • Node.js Official Downloads: Download the LTS version for the best stability and support.

• Verify Installation: After installing, verify by running:

  node --version
  npm --version

4. Angular CLI:

The Angular CLI helps you scaffold and manage Angular applications.

• Version: Angular CLI 16.x.

• Installation Command: Install Angular CLI globally via npm:

  npm install -g @angular/cli@16

• Verify Installation: Run ng version to confirm the CLI is properly installed.

5. Spring Boot:

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.

  • Maven Installation Guide.

• After installing Maven, verify with:

  mvn -version

6. Development Environment:

You’ll need integrated development environments (IDEs) that support Java and TypeScript for backend and frontend development, respectively.

• IDE for Backend (Spring Boot):

  • IntelliJ IDEA: Great for Java-based development and Spring Boot. It has dedicated support for Spring.

  • Eclipse IDE: A popular open-source IDE with Spring Boot support.

  • Spring Tool Suite (STS): A specialized IDE tailored for Spring applications.

• IDE for Frontend (Angular):

  • Visual Studio Code: A lightweight and highly customizable editor for TypeScript and Angular development.

  • WebStorm: A feature-rich IDE with built-in Angular support.

7. Database:

AMRIT platform requires a database, we use MySQL, a relational database.

• MySQL:

  • Version: MySQL 8+.

  • Download Mysql from here

  • 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.

8. Caching:

To improve performance, we use caching solutions.

• Redis is a popular in-memory data store used for caching in Spring Boot apps.

  • Download Redis from here

  • Redis is integrated into Spring Boot via the spring-data-redis library.

9. Other Tools:

• Git: Version control system.

  • Download Git from here

  • After installing, verify by running:

    git --version

• NVM (Node Version Manager): To manage multiple Node.js versions if needed.

  • Download node from here

• Browser: The latest version of Google Chrome, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge is recommended for testing and debugging Angular apps.

10. Additional Recommendations:

• 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.
