Developing Java Applications with Spring and Spring Boot

How to do it...

Change the location of our directory to where the bookpub.zip archive was extracted from and execute the following command from the command line:

      $ ./gradlew clean bootRun
  

If you don't have gradlew in the directory, then download a version of Gradle from https://gradle.org/downloads or install it via Homebrew by executing brew install gradle. After Gradle is installed, run wrapper in the gradle folder to get the Gradle wrapper files generated. Another way is to invoke $gradleclean bootRun.

The output of the preceding command will be as follows:

    ...
