There are a few workshops and certification courses that may require pre-reading, configurations and installation of software to participate. If you are registered for certification or planning on attending the workshops below, please take time to review the following workshop requirements.
Please Note: The STPCon Speakers will submit workshop requirements to the STP Team by March 24th, this section will be updated once this information is received.
Here are the setup instructions. Attendees should do this before the workshop:

First, the repo with all of the source code and examples is here: https://github.com/mkltesthead/flamechamp
Second, there is a speed walkthrough included that explains what is necessary to set up the environments. See this file here:https://github.com/mkltesthead/flamechamp/blob/master/Speed%20Walkthrough%20-%20JAVA.pdf
For you to participate effectively, you will need to set up these components and verify they work. You also need a laptop that you can install software on and make modifications to.
If you want to install directly on your machine, the steps in the speed walkthrough are virtually the same for MacOS and Linux. It will be a little different for Windows but Michael will walk you through that if necessary.
Michael will also have a few USB keys that will have the software if any attendees can't prep beforehand but that will take time to copy over. It is preferable to pre-confirm your systems work.
Please contact Michael at mkltesthead@gmail.com if you have any issues.
