Heyo,

the closest to up-to-date would probably be something like this:

> [@Quick notes on standing up a dev environment](https://community.graylog.org/t/quick-notes-on-standing-up-a-dev-environment/6598):
>
> I recently went through the process of setting up a development environment for graylog so I can start learning how to create plugins. I performed the following steps on a Fedora 28 VM but they should be similar on other Distros. I disabled selinux for this environment. Normally, I leave selinux enabled but it gave me some issues that still need sorting out. The first step after VM creation was to install all the prereq software. java-1.8-0-openjdk + devel git maven nodejs InteliJ idea I add…

Greetings,  
Philipp
