Prerequisites

This tutorial requires the Aerospike Graph repository and two dependencies. Before proceeding, install the following:

Required

Docker

Docker runs the Aerospike Graph Service and Aerospike Database layers in pre-configured containers.

Download and install Docker Desktop from the Docker website.
After installation, verify Docker is running:
Terminal window
```
docker --version
```
You should see output similar to:
```
Docker version 24.0.0, build abc1234
```

Python

This tutorial uses Python to connect to AGS and execute Gremlin queries.

Install Python 3.10 or later.
After installation, verify Python is available:
Terminal window
```
python3 --version
```
You should see output similar to:
```
Python 3.11.5
```

Optional

Git

While not strictly required, Git makes it easier to clone the repository. If you do not have Git installed, you can download the repository as a ZIP file from GitHub instead.

Install Git from git-scm.com.
