# Set Up Develop Environment

In this section, we are going to show you how to set up your development environment for SeaTunnel, and then run a simple
example in your JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA.

> You can develop or test SeaTunnel code in any development environment that you like, but here we use
> [JetBrains IDEA](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/) as an example to teach you to step by step environment.

## Prepare

Before we start talking about how to set up the environment, we need to do some preparation work. Make sure you already
have installed the following software:

* [Git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git) installed.
* [Java](https://www.java.com/en/download/) ( JDK8/JDK11 are supported by now) installed and `JAVA_HOME` set.
* [Scala](https://www.scala-lang.org/download/2.11.12.html) (only scala 2.11.12 supported by now) installed.
* [JetBrains IDEA](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/) installed.

## Set Up

### Clone the Source Code

First of all, you need to clone the SeaTunnel source code from [GitHub](https://github.com/apache/incubator-seatunnel).

```shell
git clone git@github.com:apache/incubator-seatunnel.git
```

### Install Subproject Locally

After cloning the source code, you should run the `./mvnw` command to install the subproject to the maven local repository.
Otherwise, your code could not start in JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA correctly.

```shell
./mvnw install -Dmaven.test.skip
```

### Install JetBrains IDEA Scala Plugin

Now, you can open your JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA and explore the source code, but allow building Scala code in IDEA,
you should also install JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA's [Scala plugin](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/1347-scala).
See [install plugins for IDEA](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/managing-plugins.html#install-plugins) if you want to.

### Install JetBrains IDEA Lombok Plugin

Before running the following example, you should also install JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA's [Lombok plugin](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/6317-lombok).
See [install plugins for IDEA](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/managing-plugins.html#install-plugins) if you want to.

## Run Simple Example

After all the above things are done, you just finish the environment setup and can run an example we provide to you out
of box. All examples are in module `seatunnel-examples`, you could pick one you are interested in, [running or debugging
it in IDEA](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/run-debug-configuration.html) as you wish.

Here we use `seatunnel-examples/seatunnel-flink-examples/src/main/java/org/apache/seatunnel/example/flink/LocalFlinkExample.java`
as an example, when you run it successfully you could see the output as below:


```log
+I[Ricky Huo, 71]
+I[Gary, 12]
+I[Ricky Huo, 93]
...
...
+I[Ricky Huo, 83]
```

## What's More

All our examples use simple source and sink to make it less dependent and easy to run. You can change the example configuration
in `resources/examples`. You could change your configuration as below, if you want to use PostgreSQL as the source and
sink to console. 

```conf
env {
  execution.parallelism = 1
}

source {
  JdbcSource {
    driver = org.postgresql.Driver
    url = "jdbc:postgresql://host:port/database"
    username = postgres
    query = "select * from test"
  }
}

sink {
  ConsoleSink {}
}
```
