As I have mentioned in a previous post, I finally managed to deploy and run a custom application in SAP HANA Cloud Platform (HCP). The difficult part for me was not setting up the environment per se, but to solve all the source dependencies and unknowns around the platform’s prerequisites. I found it really challenging to actually find the relevant information on the web, so I decided to write this post to list a set of issues I ran into and how I managed to solve them.
