> For AI agents: see the complete documentation index at [llms.txt](/llms.txt).

This article shows how to create a simple Maven project, integrate the Server Gateway Java SDK, and run the app.

## Set up the development environment

Make sure your server meets the following requirements.

### Hardware environment

**Operating system**

* Ubuntu 18.04 or higher
* CentOS: 7.0 or higher

**CPU architecture**

* arm64
* x86-64

If you need to run the SDK on other architectures, [submit a ticket](https://agora-ticket.agora.io/) to contact technical support.

**Performance**

* CPU：8-core, 1.8 GHz or higher.
* 2 GB of RAM or higher. 4 GB or higher is recommended.

**Network**

* The server is connected to the internet and has an internet IP.
* The server can access `*.agora.io` and `*.agoralab.co`.

### Software environment

* [Apache Maven](https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi) or other build tools. This page uses Apache Maven as an example.
* JDK 8

## Get your app ID and an RTC token

See [Account](/en/introduction/account) to learn how to get your Agora App ID and a temporary RTC token.

## Create a Maven project

See [Maven in Five Minutes](https://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/maven-in-five-minutes.html) to create a Maven project.

```bash
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DarchetypeVersion=1.4 -DinteractiveMode=false
```

## Integrate the SDK

1. Navigate to the `my-app` folder.

   ```bash
   cd my-app
   ```

2. Open `pom.xml` and replace the content with the following:

   ```xml
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
