Installation instructions for installing Sapient into your IntelliJ IDE.
Installation Requirements
IntelliJ Version
You must be running at least IntelliJ version 2023.1.x, or newer. If you’re running an older version of IntelliJ, the Sapient plugin will not work. To begin:
- Simply download and install IntelliJ IDEA from the official JetBrains website.
- Choose the edition that best fits your needs – the Community edition is free and open-source, while the Ultimate edition offers additional features.
Java 8+
Sapient supports Java 8+. This step assumes that you have JDK installed on your machine. If you’re running an older version of Java, please reach out to us support@sapient.ai.
If you don’t have an existing Java project and still want to try Sapient, feel free to follow our hands-on lab here to start from scratch setting up an environment.
