Prerequisites Checklist

Run through this list before the workshop. Each item has install instructions and a verify command below.

• Git
• Go 1.24+
• Docker (Docker Compose is bundled)
• make
• VS Code (with YAML extension)
• GitHub account
• Docker Hub account
• Discord account

Windows users: do everything inside WSL 2. Install WSL first, then follow the "Windows (WSL)" path for every tool below. Open PowerShell as administrator to install WSL 2:

wsl --install

Run the following command to re-enter WSL after restarting PowerShell:

wsl

Install & verify

Git

• macOS: brew install git (or let Xcode CLI tools install it on first git use)
• Windows (WSL): sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y git

Verify:

git --version
# git version 2.x

Go 1.24+

• macOS: brew install go
• Windows (WSL): sudo snap install go --classic — or download from go.dev/dl

Verify:

go version
# go version go1.24.x darwin/arm64

Docker (includes Docker Compose)

• macOS: brew install --cask orbstack, then launch OrbStack
• Windows (WSL): install Docker Desktop and enable WSL 2 integration in Settings → Resources → WSL Integration. Run docker commands from inside your Ubuntu WSL shell.

Verify:

docker --version
# Docker version 27.x, build ...

docker compose version
# Docker Compose version v2.x

make

• macOS: ships with Xcode CLI tools — run xcode-select --install if missing
• Windows (WSL): sudo apt install -y make

Verify:

make --version
# GNU Make 4.x

VS Code

• macOS: brew install --cask visual-studio-code — or download from code.visualstudio.com
• Windows: download from code.visualstudio.com; install the WSL extension so you can edit files inside WSL

Then install the YAML extension from the Extensions panel inside VS Code.
