We are using Spring data gemfire, we are planning to migrate to Apache geode latest version. In the VMWare gemfire version we had to explicitly set the path of the gemfire installable for the pulse to work properly. If we are using Apache geode jar, will we able to get the pulse up and running without specifying the installable location.
We are not using gfsh in our project, we want to ensure that we have minimal dependency on the installable version when we upgrade gemfire.
You don't need to set the GEODE_HOME environment variable when using spring-boot-data-geode, you just need to make sure the correct dependencies are within the classpath of your application (see here for more details).
I've written a very basic example showing how to start a Locator with the Pulse application embedded, you can find it here
As a side note, and regarding the following:

In order to avoid weird and hard to fix runtime issues, please always make sure to use a combination of versions fully supported in the Spring Boot for Apache Geode and VMware Tanzu GemFire Version Compatibility Matrix
After going through various answers and documentations I was able to start pulse by the help of following article.
