Verify if Applications are already installed before installing them

[tomassirio]

Currently, Easy Installer tries to install any application the user selects via the command shell.
It'd be better for the installer to check previously if the application is already installed on the machine.

The best case scenario for this would be the@PackageManager applications.

Logic:

if application is installed:
      skip
else
     install

Definition of Done: No application already installed in the user's computer is reinstalled

@tomassirio I am getting errors during project setup

[pa1narendra]

While installing the dependencies I am getting errors , should I do something before installing the dependencies ?
Or do I need to know some other thing to install properly

[tomassirio]

Can you send me the command you are running and the error you are getting?

[pa1narendra]

Can you send me the command you are running and the error you are getting?

do we need kotlin version 1.9.24 strictly or any version above it is also fine

[pa1narendra]

I got this error on running this command ./mvnw clean install, and I even tried ./mvnw install , but still getting this error

Please tell me how to fix this @tomassirio

I believe you are running an older version of the JDK. By the error you are getting, you must be using Java 11. This project was built with Java 17, so you might need to update your JDK.

Try running a java --version and check if my hypothesis is correct.

I got the info from here.

You should be able to download a new version via IntelliJ. Otherwise, I cannot recommend sdkman! enough. It was a game-changer for me

[pa1narendra]

I updated the jdk version to 17 still facing the same issue

[tomassirio]

could you run a java --version in the intelliJ's terminal?

[pa1narendra]

I don't have Intellij, I am using linux , here is the java version that I installed

@tomassirio Any updates on this ?

Hi @pa1narendra, I've been busy this week. I haven't checked what the issue might be as I don't have a computer with Debian close by nor did I have the time to try it with a VM.

I still believe it's a local issue but unfortunately don't have the resources to replicate it now
