First, you need to install the Operaton Platform and the Camunda Modeler.

In the following section, we'll describe how to install the Operaton Platform locally on your machine.

If you prefer, you can also run the Operaton Platform with Docker:

docker pull operaton/operaton-bpm-platform:run-latest
docker run -d --name camunda -p 8080:8080 operaton/operaton-bpm-platform:run-latest

Afterwards, you can install the Camunda Modeler.

Prerequisites

Please make sure you have the following installed:

If you need to install Java Runtime Environment, you can find the download from Oracle here.

Operaton Platform

First, download a distribution of the Operaton Platform. You can choose from different distributions for various application servers. In this tutorial, we'll use Operaton Platform Run. Download it from the download page.

After downloading the distribution, unpack it inside a directory of your choice.

After you've successfully unpacked your distribution of the Operaton Platform, execute the script named start.bat (for Windows users) or start.sh (for Unix users).

This script will start the application server. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/ to visit the Welcome Page.

Camunda Modeler

Download the Camunda Modeler from the download page.

After downloading the Modeler, simply unzip the download in a folder of your choice.

After you have successfully unpacked the zip, run camunda-modeler.exe (for Windows users), camunda-modeler.app (for Mac users), or camunda-modeler.sh (for Linux users).

Next Step

Once you've installed the Operaton Platform and the Camunda Modeler, you can move to the next step to model and execute your first process.
