Setup

Setting up a Development Environment

1. Install Java JDK 8 x64 for your system.
2. Install Intellij IDEA Community Edition
   • Just stick with all the default preference (I suggest picking the Darcula dark mode ;) )
3. Install Git for Windows
4. Setup IDEA Java SDK:
   • Open Configure -> Project Defaults -> Project Structure
   • Select an SDK - Choose the first value in the dropdown menu (if none exist create one to a valid java path.)
5. Import the Robot Base Project:
   • Go to Check out from Version Control
     
   • Click Github and login into your account
     
   • Set the Git Repository URL to https://github.com/NorviewFIRSTRobotics/Team1793RobotBase/ and choose your preferred directory.
     
   • Make sure to import the project as a Gradle module, confirm any other dialogs.
   • Open the settings.gradle file and change rootProject.name = 'RobotBase' to rootProject.name = 'a different name'
6. Ready for Development.
