* A JRE is not sufficient.
** The code accompanying this book has been tested with Cordova 6.0.0. It should work with any 5.x or 6.x version. The code also relies on core and third-party plugins, as well as various other software and node packages; check the README file in the code package for this book for specific plugin, software, and package versions, if applicable.
While not required, it is considered good practice to work using source control. Git is an easy-to-use source control management solution, and the one the author uses.
