## Prerequisites
- Operating System: 
      - Windows 10, or higher
      - Apple macOS 14 or higher
- Microsoft VC++ Runtime:
      - For Windows: [Microsoft Visual C++ v14 Redistributable (x64)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#latest-supported-redistributable-version) 
-	Java Runtime:
      - The latest Eclipse packages are bundled with [`Eclipse Temurin`](https://adoptium.net/), an `OpenJDK` binary distribution provided by the [`Eclipse Adoptium`](https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/adoptium) project. Any other JRE found on the system is not used. If you want to remove the bundled JRE and use a custom one, see SAP note [3035242](https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/3035242).
    >**Hint:** You do not need to manually install a JRE / JDK, since it is already bundled with the latest Eclipse packages, which are downloadable as a ready-to-run zip file.
