#Cloud Foundry Hands-On Lab for JavaOne 2015
##Prerequisites
Needless to say you'll need a laptop! Any OS is fine, but make sure to install the following prior to the session:
- Git or "brew install git"
- [The
cfCLI] (https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cli#downloads) - download the latest version that is appropriate for your laptop and follow the instructions in README.txt. OR the [thecfCLI] (http://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/installcf/install-go-cli.html) - A Cloud Foundry instance, either running on your laptop (16GB of laptop RAM recommended) or a hosted instance
During a live HOL, we will help you with a sandbox environment (the details are below). If you are trying these exercises by yourself, we want to provide you choices for deployment. We've tested the exercises on multiple instances.
