Before you can use Simple Log Service SDK for Java to call the API operations of Simple Log Service, you must install Simple Log Service SDK for Java. This topic describes how to install Simple Log Service SDK for Java by using various methods. You can choose a method based on your business requirements.
Prerequisites
Simple Log Service is activated. For more information, see Activate Simple Log Service.
An AccessKey pair is created and obtained. For more information, see AccessKey pair.
An Alibaba Cloud account has permissions to call all API operations. If you use the AccessKey pair of an Alibaba Cloud account, security risks may occur. We recommend that you create and use a RAM user to call API operations or perform routine O&M. Make sure that the RAM user is granted the permissions to perform operations on Simple Log Service resources. For more information, see Grant permissions to a RAM user.
A Java development environment is installed.
Simple Log Service SDK for Java supports Java runtime environment (JRE) 6.0 or later. You can run the java -version command to check the version of your Java development environment. If no Java development environment is installed, you can download an installation package from the Java official website and install the Java development environment.
