Environment Setup in Aletyx Enterprise Build of Kogito and Drools 10.1.0-aletyx

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)

Open PowerShell® as Administrator (Right-click, “Run as Administrator”)

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'))

Verify installation:
choco --version

Install Homebrew:

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

Add Homebrew to your PATH:

For Apple® Silicon Mac®

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

For Intel® Macs

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

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:

Java
Using SDKMAN!™

Homebrew
Linux
Windows

# Install Homebrew if not already installed
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

# Install Java
brew install --cask temurin17

# Install Maven
brew install maven

# Install Java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y temurin-17-jdk

# Install Maven
sudo apt-get install maven

# Using Chocolatey
choco install temurin17
choco install maven

macOS
Linux

# Install SDKMAN!
curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash
source "$HOME/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"
