Setting up

In this section, we will install the tools that we will use for building our microservices. They are:

• JDK 8
• Maven 3.5
• IntelliJ IDEA CE 2017.2

Mac OS X users may skip these steps and just use Homebrew (https://brew.sh/) to install all the tools required, running just the following commands:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask
brew tap caskroom/versions
brew cask install java8
brew install maven
brew cask install intellij-idea-ce
