Hello there, My name is Valens , student at Rwanda Coding Academy. I was trying to set up OpenElis-Global using tomcat but I’m getting this error:
Could not find artifact org.itech:dataexport-api:pom:0.0.0.8 in jaspersoft-third-party
I can see that the **org.itech version 0.0.0.8** dependency is not available, please anyone to help with the current suported version of the **org.itech data exporter**

Thank you @Rahul_Vishwakarma I would have used docker, but I need to configure it for development. I’m facing that issue of dependency called **org.itech** which can not be found.

I can see that that dependency is not even found on the maven central repository.
```
org.itech
dataexport-api
0.0.0.8
```
Error : “java: package org.itech.fhir.dataexport.core.service does not exist”

i am certain this issue has been posted multiple times in this forum, you should look it up but basically you need to install JDK 11 (java 11) and then configure your system environment variable(JAVA\_HOME and path) to point to java 11. Even if you have java version higher than 11, it doesn’t seem like there is backwards compatibility.

No @parthnagdev , For me downgrading to JDK 11 doesn’t give any solution.

Hey @valens The DataExport-api is included in the [OpenELIS Global](https://github.com/I-TECH-UW/OpenELIS-Global-2/tree/develop) repo as a git submodule.
Have you followed these steps? ,
1. `git submodule update --init --recursive`
2. `cd dataexport`
3. `mvn clean install`

Thank you @Manish ,
Here is the screenshoot:
I actually have maven installed, but when I try to run this command you gave me : " 1. `git submodule update --init --recursive`", I get the error bellow :

Here, I notice that your Java version is 21.0.2.
Could you also install `Java 11` and set your `JAVA_HOME` to Java 11? This should resolve your issue.
