====== Setup Grails 3 Development Environment ======
  - Download the latest version (or any version) from [[https://grails.org/]]
  - Upzip it to a known directory, ''d:\grails-3.3.6'', for example.
  - Download and install the required JDK for your Grails version from Oracle. For example, Grails 3.3.6 requires ''Java JDK 1.8'' to run. [[https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html]]
  - Edit either the environment variables for the system or your account. Here I choose my own user variables instead of system variables. {{ :setup_grails_3_development_environment_env.jpg?direct&200 |}}
  - Add GRAILS_HOME, and JAVA_HOME to the path Grails, and Java JDK installed respectively. Then Add ''%GRAILS_HOME%\bin'' in the existing Path variable so that your can call the grails' executable in the console. {{ :setup_grails_3_development_environment_env2.png?direct&400 |}}
  - The installation is completed. To try it out, Open a command prompt.{{ :setup_grails_3_development_environment_env3.png?direct&200 |}}
  - Go to the directory you want to create the Hello World project. In my case, it is ''d:\grailsApp''. Type the command ''grails create-app helloworld'' to create a new project named helloworld.<code>
D:\grailsApp>grails create-app helloworld
</code>
  - Change directory to the newly create ''helloworld'' directory, and type the command ''grails''. Grails will download the require library. It might take sometime for download for the first time. After that, we will enter the grails mode<code>
D:\grailsApp>cd helloworld
D:\grailsApp\helloworld>grails
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
| Enter a command name to run. Use TAB for completion:
grails>
</code>
  - To see which commands we can run in grails mode, press ''Tab'' key. The interesting one would be ''assemble'', ''compile'', ''clean'', ''run-app'', and ''stop-app'' <code>

  - The Development Environment has now been set up.
