In this section, we will download and install Apache Flink.
Flink runs on Linux, OS X, and Windows. To be able to run Flink, the only requirement is having a working Java 7.x (or higher) installation. If you are using Windows, please take a look at the Flink on Windows guide at https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.4/start/flink_on_windows.html, which describes how to run Flink on Windows for local setups.
You can check your version of Java by issuing the following command:
java -version
If you have Java 8, the output will look something like this:
java version "1.8.0_111"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_111-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.111-b14, mixed mode)
