Environment Setup in Aletyx Enterprise Build of Kogito and Drools 10.0.0

This guide will help you set up your development environment for Aletyx Enterprise Build of Kogito and Drools. We'll cover installation and configuration of all required tools and dependencies.

Prerequisites Overview

The following tools are required for development:

• Java 17 (Eclipse Temurin/AdoptOpenJDK, or other community distribution)
• Maven 3.9.6 or higher
• Git
• Container runtime (Docker® or Podman®)
• Kubernetes® tools (kubectl)
• Red Hat OpenShift® CLI (oc)
• Visual Studio Code® with extensions

Package Manager Setup

If possible, to simplify the configurations, we recommend the usage of Package Managers like Homebrew, Chocolatey®, or APT to get the required elements for your environment. This is not required, but greatly simplifies the process.

Package Manager

Microsoft Windows® (Chocolatey)macOS® (Homebrew)Linux® (apt)

1. Open PowerShell® as Administrator (Right-click, "Run as Administrator")

2. Install Chocolatey:

   Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
   

3. Verify installation:

   choco --version
   

1. Install Homebrew:

   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
   

2. Add Homebrew to your PATH:

   1. For Apple® Silicon Mac®

      echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> ~/.zshrc
      

   2. For Intel® Macs

      echo 'eval "$(/usr/local/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> ~/.zshrc
      

3. Reload your shell configuration:

   source ~/.zshrc
   

Linux generally comes with its package manager, but ensure it's up to date:

    sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Initial Java™ Setup with Apache Maven™

You need a JDK 17 and for the distribution, we recommend using Eclipse Temurin (formerly AdoptOpenJDK)for development:

JavaUsing SDKMAN!™
