MySQL
I have installed MySQL 8.0.21 Community Server. If you are using a prior version of MySQL, it is fine but Don’t go prior to version 5
PostMan or any other Rest client

I am using the PostMan Rest client to test all Billing System endpoints. I am recommending to install PostMan. If you are familiar with any other Rest Client, you can go with that.
The above software is mandatory software to run the Billing System on your computer. Optionally you have to install maven because Maven is coming along with Eclipse and IntelliJ. if you want to run the build command in the command line, you have to download the latest version of Maven from the following site.
