Prerequisites for Deploying CAP applications on Kyma

• For Windows, you'll need Chocolatey. This is a package manager that will speed up and ease installation of the tools in this tutorial. See how to install Chocolatey in Setup/Install.
• For Mac OSX, you need brew. You can install latest version of brew.

Verify your @sap/cds and @sap/cds-dk versions

Make sure you're using the latest CAP tooling version.

1. npm install --global @sap/cds-dk to install globally the latest @sap/cds-dk version.

2. npm install to install your local package.

3. cds version to double check that the globally installed @sap/cds-dk version and your locally installed @sap/cds version match.

Note: Make sure cds version is > 7.0!
