To get the most out of this book
For this book, to be able to get the most out of your system and Apache ShardingSphere, you will need a few simple tools.
We have compiled a list of the software you may need, depending on the features or ShardingSphere clients you are interested in.
In terms of the operating system, you may use any of the mainstream choices available, Windows, macOS, or Linux. All code examples have been tested in all three operating systems and should work with future versions too.
If you were to encounter any difficulties in the installation, and you cannot find the fix covered in this book for reasons such as a particular setup you may be using, you can reach out to the community in the Issues or Discussions sections of Apache ShardingSphere's GitHub repository.
If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book's GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
