Quick start - preparation

Before you start, make sure you have the relevant hardware and software. For this tutorial, please use Windows as your development environment and WSL/CentOS/Docker as your runtime environment.

You then need to decide whether to run the application from a Docker container (this is easier and highly recommended) or to use a WSL/CentOS environment.

• If you have decided to proceed using Docker (highly recommended), there are instructions for installing Docker for Desktop in the Docker documentation. For a download, click here. Once installed, you can proceed to the first step of the Quick start - creating a new project.
• If you have decided to use WSL/CentOS, then you need to install these. You can then proceed to the first step of the Quick start - creating a new project.

When you have completed building your application, there are separate instructions for running your application via WSL/CentOS or via Docker.
