The following are the tools required to install JHipster and to work with the generated applications. If you do not have them installed already, perform the following steps and install them.

You will need to use a command-line interface (Command Prompt or Terminal application) throughout this section, and hence it is better to have one open. Since the installation of some of the following tools will alter the environment variables, you might have to close and reopen the Terminal after the installation of a tool:

• On Windows, use the default Command Prompt (cmd) or PowerShell.
• On Linux, use Bash or your favorite Terminal emulator.
• On macOS, use iTerm or your favorite Terminal application.
