Process

Set up Swagger on computer

• install swagger (mac)

  brew install swagger
  

• set environment variables according to your environment:

  ```
  For the system Java wrappers to find this JDK, symlink it with
    sudo ln -sfn /usr/local/opt/openjdk/libexec/openjdk.jdk /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk.jdk
  
  openjdk is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
  because it shadows the macOS `java` wrapper.
  
  If you need to have openjdk first in your PATH run:
    echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openjdk/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
  
  For compilers to find openjdk you may need to set:
    export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openjdk/include"
  ```
