You also need the following:

•  Install Chrome browser (For most cloud-based tasks, you will need Chrome. IE, Edge, Safari, etc. do not render the UI correctly)
•  Make a new Anypoint Platform account using this link
•  Make a Salesforce Developer Account using this link
•  Install Advanced REST Client (ARC) (from here) &/or Postman (from here)

Tooling Service runs as a separate Java process on your machine. You can use Task Manager (on Windows) or Activity Monitor (on Mac) to verify if that Java process is running.

You can also verify its status from within AnypointStudio. Open Studio's Preferences dialog box (On Windows: Window > Preferences from the top menu; On Mac: AnypointStudio > Preferences from the top menu). Access Anypoint Studio > Tooling 

One can download the latest version of AnypointStudio from here. After downloading, use an external unzip utility such as 7-zip to extract AnypointStudio. (Note to Windows OS users: The default unzip utility that comes with Windows OS seems to encounter problems with long path names when extracting AnypointStudio)

To attend the training session, you should have operational Desktops or Laptops with the required specification and a good internet connection to access the labs. 

Open AnypointStudio, & use Studio's menu Help > About Anypoint Studio > Installation Details, & verify the software versions for AnypointStudio & Mule Server Runtime are the latest. You can use the Update button to update the software to its latest available version(s).

Ensure one has downloaded all the course materials, including StudentFiles, from LMS. Extract the contents of the StudentFiles.zip file to a directory, & follow the steps below:

•  Open a command prompt (terminal).  
•  Change the directory to the student files/jars folder.  
•  Start the local services by issuing comm& java –jar mule soft-training-services-X.X.X.jar. 
•  Leave this terminal running. This runs multiple services, including open source Derby database, a few SOAP & RESTful services, etc.

You can request a refund if you do not wish to enroll in the course.

: Yes, you can.

: It is recommended but optional. Being acquainted with the primary course material will enable students & the trainer to move at the desired pace during classes. One can access courseware for most vendors.
