Requirements / tool configuration

Requirements

Important: When using Windows, you must configure your GIT client to not convert line endings to windows line endings before cloning this GIT repository.

Note: It’s also possible to develop and serve an application with Gentics Portal | java without Docker, but it makes development a lot easier, that’s why it is listed as requirement here.

git config --global core.autocrlf input

Read the section Installing the required tools - more specific for more specific details on how to install and configure the required tools. If you encounter any Docker specific errors, you maybe find a solution in this FAQ.

Whenever possible the package manager of your operating system should be used to install the required tools. Additional points to be considered for certain operating systems are listed below.
