This tutorial assumes that you have Jave 1.6 or later installed on you machine and ``java`` on your ``PATH``. You also need to know how to run commands in a shell (ZSH, Bash, DOS etc.) and a decent text editor or IDE to type in the Java code.

A couple of things are worth explaining further.
First, we are passing in a ``java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch`` to the ``Master`` actor. This latch is only used for plumbing (in this specific tutorial), to have a simple way of letting the outside world knowing when the master can deliver the result and shut down. In more idiomatic Akka code, as we will see in part two of this tutorial series, we would not use a latch but other abstractions and functions like ``Channel``, ``Future`` and ``!!!`` to achive the same thing in a non-blocking way. But for simplicity let's stick to a ``CountDownLatch`` for now.

Second, we are adding a couple of life-cycle callback methods; ``preStart`` and ``postStop``. In the ``preStart`` callback we are recording the time when the actor is started and in the ``postStop`` callback we are printing out the result (the approximation of Pi) and the time it took to calculate it. In this call we also invoke ``latch.countDown()`` to tell the outside world that we are done.
