The Spring Boot application that we created in Chapter 4, Securing and Testing Your Backend, is required (GitHub: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-Full-Stack-Development-with-Spring-Boot-2.0-and-React/tree/master/Chapter%204).
The React app that we used in the previous chapter is also required (GitHub: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-Full-Stack-Development-with-Spring-Boot-2.0-and-React/tree/master/Chapter%2011).

If you are going to use your own server, the easiest way to deploy the Spring Boot application is to use an executable JAR file. An executable JAR file is generated, if you use Maven, in the command line by typing the mvn clean install command. That command creates the JAR file in the build folder. In this case, you don't have to install a separate application server because it is embedded in your JAR file. Then you just have to run the JAR file using the java command, java -jar your_appfile...
