Download and Installation

First you need to set up your development environment and install the Operaton Platform and the Camunda Modeler.

Prerequisites​

Make sure you have the following set of tools installed:

  • Java JDK 1.8+
  • Apache Maven (optional, if not installed you can use embedded Maven inside Eclipse.)
  • A modern web browser (recent Firefox, Chrome or Microsoft Edge will work fine)
  • Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE)

Install Operaton Platform​

First, download a distribution of the Operaton Platform. You can choose from different application servers. In this tutorial, we will use a WildFly-based distribution. Download it from the download page.

After having downloaded the distribution, unpack it inside a directory of your choice. We will call that directory $OPERATON_HOME.

After you have successfully unpacked your distribution of the Operaton Platform, execute the script named start-camunda.bat for Windows users, respectively start-camunda.sh for Unix users.

This script will start the application server and open a welcome screen in your Web browser. If the page does not open, go to http://localhost:8080/operaton-welcome/index.html.
