Chapter 3. Installing Red Hat Development Suite on macOS and Windows
3.1. Prerequisites
- Sign Up for the Red Hat Developer Program: Join the program here: Red Hat Developer Program. After signing up, you must wait approximately fifteen minutes to allow the new account information to propagate to the Red Hat Subscription Management system.
Ensure Virtualization is enabled on your machine.
If macOS: In a terminal, run the
sysctl -a | grep machdep.cpu.featurescommand. The result will be a string of features. If the output includesVMX, the machine has Virtualization enabled. If not enabled see your system’s documentation for instruction.If Windows: Ensure that Virtualization is enabled in your machine’s BIOS settings. If Red Hat Development Suite is run on a new system, ensure that Virtualization is enabled in the BIOS settings. This is required to run VirtualBox. See your system’s documentation for instructions to change BIOS settings.
Ensure that you are logged in as an Administrator.
NoteIf Windows, do not run Red Hat Development Suite using a non-Administrator account with the Run as Administrator option because this does not supply the required permissions.
- (Optional) Install Docker individually to use Docker for Windows: Red Hat Development Suite includes the Docker tooling, but to use the full version of Docker for Windows (Docker Machine or Boot2Docker), you must install Docker and test it before installing any Eclipse Docker tools. This is only applicable to using Docker outside of JBoss Developer Studio, such as Docker for Windows or Docker for macOS.
Ensure that Java SE 1.8.0 is installed:
If macOS: Download and install Java SE 1.8.0 Build 111 from the Oracle website: Java Download.
