Ensure that you have installed Maven. You can see the step here. You could install a Java IDE. Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse is recommended.

Developer tools are designed for software development and integration. Therefore, they rely on robust IDEs like Visual Studio or IntelliJ, which offer advanced coding, debugging, and project management features.

JetBrains IDEA or Visual Studio Code or another tool to edit JavaScript code. Console.

A popular Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that provides powerful refactoring capabilities for various programming languages, including Java, Kotlin, and JavaScript. It offers automated refactorings, such as extracting methods, renaming variables, and introducing variables

IntelliJ IDEA stands out as a premier IDE for Java and Kotlin developers, offering a comprehensive development environment far beyond what a simple code editor like Atom provides. This IDE excels with advanced features such as deep code understanding for superior navigation and refactoring. Unlike basic editors, IntelliJ integrates essential tools for databases and version control, streamlining your workflow by keeping everything you need within reach. The Community Edition of IntelliJ is available for free and offers an extensive exploration of its features, though access is restricted to students, BootCamp members, and specific focus groups. For everyone else, the Professional Edition is available at approximately $20 a month and includes full access to IntelliJ's powerful suite of tools.

For these demonstrations, I'm using IntelliJ IDEA, equipped with the Kotlin Notebook plugin and all necessary dependencies. If you’d like to follow along step-by-step, I recommend setting up your environment similarly. Here is a short installation guide.

Android Studio or IntellijIDEA (configured for Android development) installed and working in your machine.

If you are using an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse, you can set environment variables in the configuration settings of your application.

Being somewhat allergic to coding in Java (this is a personal thing, if you like Java then good for you) I decided to try out writing the code using Kotlin from JetBrains instead. I'm already using IntelliJ as I work with Apache Spark using Scala, so the tooling was already there and ready to go for this.

IntelliJ (look for the community edition) on the other hand offered great out-of-box Groovy support including IntelliSence, building, and running features. So, I sticked with it 😊

There are a variety of API clients written in various languages to configure and script Neovim including Ruby, Python, Go, and Rust. You can find an extensive list here: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Related-projects#api-c...

I used Lua for years to configure my awesomewm desktop environment. Then, I started using it to configure my Wezterm. Since I bumped into an Emacs bug (lsp-mode bug to be fair), I switched quickly to Neovim after 20 years of Emacs, and I am using Lua to configure my Neovim. Last but not least, OpenResty gives my Nginx superpowers with Lua.

Editor - Neovim

I have been using tmux for a while now. It was really worth it, especially after I started using neovim. One thing was really missing though compared to my previous setup and that was opening URLs. I always used my mouse to do that, but now I couldn't even do that because I am using the good old xterm as a terminal which doesn't have a built in feature like that.

This was tried by ZyX-I when the Neovim project was started. AFAIK they managed to create an alternative parser for Vimscript, but the transpiler was never finished (or productionized?), I think due to incompatibilities that are hard to avoid. Some relevant issues:

- https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/170

- https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/387

- https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/392

Next, install NeoVim itself on your device via the official website, or if you have homebrew, you can install it via the appropriate command brew install neovim, Linux users have their own package managers for installing packages, but I will not list them :)
