<div class="paragraph">
<p>As tracking down issues which result from missing or outdated third party tools such as compilers are always hard do diagnose, we have extended the build of PLC4X with a <code>prerequisiteCheck</code> that automatically checks if required tools are installed and if a required minimum version is available.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If any of the prerequisites are not met, the build fails with an error message that will help finding out what&#8217;s wrong.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The number of checks is highly dependent on which profiles are enabled.
So for example the availability and version of the C compiler is only checked if the <code>with-c</code> profile is enabled.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>As in the past keeping the documentation up to date has been quite challenging, as the projects providing and packaging some of the needed tools have been born and dying like weed, we&#8217;ll start using Chocolatey as something similar to Homebrew on Mac or Apt on Linux.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>So first be sure to install Chocolatey from here: <a href="https://community.chocolatey.org/" class="bare">https://community.chocolatey.org/</a> and follow the most recent instructions on that page in order to install it.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_git"><a class="anchor" href="#_git"></a>Git</h2>

<p>Checking:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>git --version</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If you get any successful output, you probably don&#8217;t need to do anything.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If above command is not successful, simply install it via Chocolatey:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>choco install git</pre>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_java"><a class="anchor" href="#_java"></a>Java</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Checking:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>java --version</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If you get output successfully, check that the version reported is at least Java 11.
If you need to install or update Java.
Unfortunately, this doesn&#8217;t seem available via Chocolatey, but needs to be installed directly from a distribution.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For Oracles OpenJDK 21 this would be from here: <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/java/openjdk/download" class="bare">https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/java/openjdk/download</a>
If you are using a Windows VM on <code>aarch64</code> (Apple M1 or M2 virtual machine), the download available from Microsoft build seems to be one of the few options you have.
When installing, make sure to select the option to configure the "JAVA_HOME" environment variable (deactivated per default).</p>
