Answer 1

Maven: If maven is used as a build tool then just add the below dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.freemarker</groupId>
    <artifactId>freemarker</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.23</version>
</dependency>

No Maven: If maven is not used, add the below jar to the classpath.

Download freemarker-2.3.23.jar from the below link. http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/freemarker/freemarker/2.3.23/freemarker-2.3.23.jar

If a different version is needed then use the below link and choose the version needed. http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/freemarker/freemarker
