# Intro
In this section we will cover the requirements and setup procedures of Re-ops components
# Prerequisites
The following are the core prerequisites that Re-ops requires in order to run:
- Ubuntu 20.04 (opens new window) (on either visualized or physical hardware).
- Amazon correto 8 (opens new window) JDK.
- Lein (opens new window) build tool.
- Elasticsearch 7.8 for persistent storage (see Re-dock for quick docker setup).
- Good understanding of Clojure 😃
Note: Using Re-ops will require you to use Clojure, check out why.
# ELK
Re-ops uses the ELK stack for persistent storage and visualization of data:
- Elasticsearch 7.8 for persisting results and metrics
- Grafana for viewing metrics
- Kibana for viewing results and failures
Check Re-dock for a quick docker setup of the ELK stack.
