Technical requirements
No hands-on experience in a specific language is required but it would be beneficial to have some experience in Java since ShardingSphere is coded in Java.
To run the practical examples in this chapter, you will need the following tools:
- JRE or JDK 8+: This is the basic environment for all Java applications.
- Text editor (not mandatory): You can use Vim or VS Code to modify the YAML configuration files.
- A 2 cores 4 GB machine with Unix or Windows OS: ShardingSphere can be launched on most OSs.
- 7-Zip or tar command: You can use these tools for Linux or macOS to decompress the proxy artifact
