Configurations for Gatling

Hi,

Good day to you.
Can someone please tell me the best configurations (to date: 26th Aug. 2019) for the following in order to run Gatling without worrying about a run crash or runtime errors:

Gatling version
Java version
Scala version
IDE version (IntelliJ preferred)
Plugins to be installed
Maven version
Pom.xml dependancies
Ideal Operating System

This would be much helpful.

P.S. Please don’t bother suggesting to use the latest version of everything (which doesn’t work) or to visit this link - https://gatling.io/docs/2.3/quickstart/ - both these are tried but to no avail.

Warm Regards,
Mishal Alexander
