Prerequisites

Prerequisites

Before getting started with Resolute, ensure you have the following set up.

Go#

Resolute requires Go 1.22 or later.

# Check your Go version
go version

If you need to install or update Go, visit go.dev/dl.

Temporal#

Resolute is built on Temporal, so you’ll need a Temporal server running.

Option 1: Temporal Dev Server (Recommended for Development)#

The fastest way to get started:

# Install Temporal CLI
brew install temporal  # macOS
# or
curl -sSf https://temporal.download/cli.sh | sh

# Start development server
temporal server start-dev

This starts a local Temporal server at localhost:7233 with the Web UI at localhost:8233.

Option 2: Docker Compose#

For a more complete local setup:

git clone https://github.com/temporalio/docker-compose.git
cd docker-compose
docker compose up

Option 3: Temporal Cloud#

For production or team development, use Temporal Cloud.

IDE Setup#

VS Code#

Recommended extensions:

• Go - Official Go extension
• Go Test Explorer - For running tests

GoLand#

Verify Your Setup#

# Verify Go

temporal workflow list
# Expected: Empty list (no workflows yet)
