Development Environment Setup

Overview

Follow the steps outlined on this page to setup the DIGIT development environment.

Steps

To setup the DIGIT development environment -

1. Run the Kafka and PostgreSQL on the development machine and re-use other services from the DIGIT development environment. The following tools are required for development:

   • Install Git

     Git for windows

     Git for Linux

   • Install JDK17

     JDK17 for windows

     JDK17 for Linux

   • Install IDE - To create SpringBoot/Java applications it is recommended to use IntelliJ IDE. IntelliJ can be downloaded from the following links -

     IntelliJ for windows

     IntelliJ for Linux

   • Install the Lombok plugins for IntelliJ as we use Lombok annotations in this module.

   • Install Kafka (version 3.2.0 which is the latest version) - To install and run Kafka locally, follow the following links -

     Kafka for windows

     Kafka for Linux

   • Install Postman - To install Postman, follow the following links -

     Postman for windows

     Postman for Linux

   • Install Kubectl - Kubectl is the tool that we use to interact with services deployed on our sandbox environment - kubectl for windows

   https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl-linux/

   • Install aws-iam-authenticator - (if the DIGIT development environment is in AWS) - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/install-aws-iam-authenticator.html

   • Install PostgreSQL v14 locally

2. Add configuration - Post installation of Kubectl, add the following configuration in the Kubernetes config file to enable access to resources in our sandbox environment. Kubernetes config file is available in the user's home directory (which varies from OS to OS).

   For example, on a Mac, it is available at:/Users/xyz/.kube/config

   Once the config file is created, add the following content to it.

Note: Replace the placeholder keys and tokens in the snippet below with your AWS-specific keys. Contact your system administrator for help with this.

        value: {AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_PLACEHOLDER}
      - name: AWS_REGION
        value: {AWS_REGION_PLACEHOLDER}

Once the configuration file is created, access the pods running in the environment by typing: kubectl get pods

This lists all the pods in the development environment.

In case you get an error stating “Error: You must be logged in to the server (Unauthorized)”, add sudo before the command. For example, “sudo kubectl get pods”. That should resolve the error.
