Hey there, welcome back. A warm welcome to all of you. Now friends what exactly is a Spring Boot? Spring Boot is nothing but an opinionated version of spring framework. Now this particular framework, Spring Boot definitely uses Java technology in the background. As a result, Java or JDK must be there on your system.

Now, as Java programming is a prerequisite for this course, and you must also have an abstract level information of spring framework. I am assuming that you must have a JDK installed on your system already. Now, if that is not the case, definitely you can Google for JDK download and Google will give you the first search result by oracle.com Now friends the current version of Java is Java 10. But we won't use Java 10 rather we will make use of Java eight. It is reported that there are few compatibility issues with the Java nine and Java 10. But later down the line when the compatibility issues will be fixed, you can definitely make use of Java nine or 10 later down the line of friends in order to reach this URL.

We also have a yet another shortcut technique which is studies.org slash download Java and you would be redirected to Oracle dot coms Java download page. Now first of all, we have Java SE 10 download and then later down the line. If we scroll down we also have the link to download Java eight. Now the reason why Oracle has given direct link to Java eight because this version is a stable belt and there is no compatibility issues with the Java eight with majority of the software. Java 10 is a new And other vendors are adopting this one. And the compatibility issues can be an issue when we are working with Spring Boot.

Alright, so we will go with Java eight, you can click on download, you can accept the license, you can download the appropriate version of JDK, and the Java download will start offense I won't like show you the installation process because that is lame and you must be having knowledge of how to install Java SE as you all have the background of Java All right. So the installation process is again very simple usual Windows installation or installation would be based on your operating system. Let me close in this particular tab. Moreover, moving forward we will make use of an ID and the name of the ID as a spring sts and if we Google for spring sts then definitely it will give As the first search result download sts now sts stands for spring tool suit and this is nothing but an optimized version of Eclipse for spring.

Now friends I have already added a shortcut link for this particular download speech and witches studies.org slash spring sts and if you navigate to this URL as study.org slash spring sts you would be redirected to the download SDS page. Let me show you. Now in here based on your operating system download the appropriate version of SDS and in here, I will go with the windows 64 bit version and I will click on this zip link and the download will start. Now friends in order to save some time I have already downloaded this particular file. Let me show you here is the file and let me open this zip archive and I will simply like copy this particular folder and I will paste this on On my C drive. Now, this is a practice, which I do, I usually keep the ID folder directly inside the C drive.

But you can definitely keep this anywhere based on your preferences. And once the extraction is done, I will create a shortcut link on my desktop again. So let me fast forward this process. This will take couple of seconds. And let me also show you how SDS looks when we start the suit. Alright, so the extraction is done.

Let me open up this folder. Let me open up this particular folder and here is the SDS dot exe file. Let me create a shortcut on the desktop for easy access. And let me open up sds.xc and it will open up in a couple of seconds. So this is what we need in order to get started with Spring Boot. Id it could be SDS or you can make use of it.

Another ID of your choice and we must have Java installed in our system. All right, so this is it for today's video. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Thanks for watching. Have a nice day and take care
