Preparing the working environment

Finally, it's time to prepare our working environment. We will prepare all the software needed to develop and run our application. For this process, we will need the following:

• Git
• JDK
• IDE
• Spring 5
• Postman

For a proper development machine, you can use any computer having, for example, an i5 processor (or more powerful) with at least 8 GB of RAM. These are the main characteristics. You can do your development on Microsoft Windows, Linux, or macOS. All the development mentioned in this book was done on macOS Sierra (version 10.12.6).
