===== Development tools =====

What do you need to develop?

This is the suggested configuration to proceed with WManager development.

==== Create your local Apache/PHP/Postgres environment ====

Based on your favourite laptop/Desktop configuration we can suggest:
   * Linux based machines:
     * [[wmanager:lamp_package_with_php_5.6 | Plain installation of Apache/PHP/postgres/ on linux based machinens]];
   * MAC users can see:
     * [[https://jason.pureconcepts.net/2012/10/install-apache-php-mysql-mac-os-x/ | Installing Apache on Mac]]
     * [[https://www.postgresql.org/download/macosx/ | Installing PostreSQL on Mac]]
   * Windows based machines:
     * [[https://www.ampps.com/download | LAMP environment ]]
     * [[https://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/: installing PostgreSQL on Windows]]

==== Eclipse ====
We like and hence we suggest [[http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-php-developers/mars2 | Eclipse Mars 2 for PHP Developers ]].
Installation is straightforward.

In order to install Eclipse you will need an available JVM installed.
We liked to get it from here:
   * http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/pt/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

You can verify the proper installation of JAVA using the following command (or equivalent)
<code>
Gianlucas-iMac:~ admin$ /usr/libexec/java_home 
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_171.jdk/Contents/Home
Gianlucas-iMac:~ admin$ 


</code>


==== Command line development tools/Git ====

Unless you haven't installed them yet, you will most likely need to install the "Command line development tools". Basically we relay on **git** commands.

On MAC the Installation may be initiated by Eclipse installation tool itself. In other OS you may to install git

After having completed the git installation you can run the following configuration steps to verify if everything is working fine:

git config --global user.email Your.email@com


</code>
