Requirements

This is a hands-on workshop. So please bring a laptop, with the following software already installed:

• A recent Java runtime environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK). The java executable should be in your path. You may check if Java is already installed by opening up your command-line terminal and running:

java -version

• PHP v5.3.5+, with the php executable in your path.

php -v

• The following PHP libraries must be installed and enabled:

  • curl
  • mbstring
  • xml
  • openssl

php -m

• Git. The command line client will do, Windows users are encouraged to install msysgit. Please make sure that the git executable is in your path.

git --version

• The Firefox web browser.
• A text editor or IDE of your choice.

We'll go over installing Composer, Behat/Mink and Selenium as part of the workshop, so no need to set up these tools beforehand.
