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
$CAMUNDA_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.
If you have trouble setting up the Operaton Platform, you can ask for assistance in the Forum.
Install Camunda Modeler
Follow the instructions in the Camunda Modeler section.
