What you need for this book

Throughout the book, we have used Google Chrome as our browser. You can use any modern web browser and text editor, but I highly recommend you use this open source software to make any of the projects discussed in this book.

To follow along and try these Views, you will need a functioning installation of Drupal 8. Acquia Dev Desktop is an easy way to install Drupal on Windows or Mac (https://www.acquia.com/downloads). Alternatively, you can use WAMP or MAMP to install Drupal 8 locally. Or, you can also use free hosting at Acquia Cloud (https://www.acquia.com/free) or Pantheon (https://pantheon.io/).

For quick experimenting, https://simplytest.me/ offers free sites that can be created in a few minutes and last up to 24 hours. For other environments, take a look at the Drupal 8 requirements at https://www.drupal.org/requirements.
