+:disable-cache: true
+:slides: true
+:order: 1
+:minutes: 10
+:branch: main
+
+To experiment with Neo4j and Java during this course you will need to setup a development environment.
+
+include::../../../../../../shared/courses/codespace/get-started.adoc[]
+
+The repository contains an example Maven project with the required dependencies and a `pom.xml` file.
+
+[%collapsible]
+.Develop on your local machine
+====
+You will need link:https://www.java.com[Java] 17 or higher installed.
+You can check your version by running `java -version`.
+To download Java, you can choose from many link:https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/installation/requirements/#deployment-requirements-software[supported vendor options^]. For example, link:https://www.azul.com/downloads/?package=jdk#zulu[Azul's JDK^] or hlink:ttps://openjdk.org/install/[OpenJDK^].
+
+Clone the link:{repository-link}[github.com/neo4j-graphacademy/app-java] repository:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+git clone https://github.com/neo4j-graphacademy/app-java
+----
+
+[TIP]
+.Fork the repository
+You can link:https://github.com/neo4j-graphacademy/app-java/fork[fork the repository] and have a copy for future reference.
+
+Install the project and dependencies using Maven:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+cd app-java
+./mvnw clean install -U -DskipTests
+----
+
+You do not need to create a Neo4j database as you will use the provided sandbox instance.
+====
+
+== Driver installation
+
+The Neo4j driver is included in the `pom.xml` file, so you do not need to install it separately.
+
+[source, xml]

+
+== Setup the environment
+
+Create a new `/src/main/resources/application.properties` file and copy the contents of the `example.properties` file into it.
+
+Fill in the required values:
+
+[source]
+.Create a resources/application.properties file
+----
+include::{repository-raw}/{branch}/src/main/resources/example.properties[]

+Update the Neo4j sandbox connection details:

+NEO4J_URI:: [copy]#bolt://{sandbox-ip}:{sandbox-boltPort}#
+NEO4J_USERNAME:: [copy]#{sandbox-username}#
+NEO4J_PASSWORD:: [copy]#{sandbox-password}#
+
+== Test your setup
+
+You can test your setup by running the test - `src/test/java/neoflix/_01_ConnectToNeo4jTest.java`.
+
+The test will attempt to load the values in the `application.properties` file and connect to the Neo4j sandbox.
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+./mvnw test
+----
+
+You will see `Tests run: 2, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0` and a `BUILD SUCCESS` message if you have set up your environment correctly. 
+
+If any tests fail, check the contents of the `application.properties` file.

-//TODO: Fix this when content is complete!
+
 In this lesson, you added connection details to your application and tested the connection to the Neo4j database. This lesson completes Module 1 of the course.
 
-In the next module, you will learn about mapping the graph data model to the application domain model.
+In the next module, you will refresh concepts for interacting with Neo4j using the Neo4j Java driver and then apply these concepts in your application.
