Getting Started ​

Prerequisites ​

Java ​

You need Java 25.

Node.js and npm ​

Node.js is required to run the development web server and build the project.
Depending on your system, you can install Node.js from source or use a pre-built installer.

Verify your installation ​

Open your terminal and run the following commands to verify that Java and Node.js are correctly installed:

bash
java -version && javac -version
bash
node -v && npm -v

Example output:
