Use YAWL in 5 Steps
- Prerequisite:
- At least Java 6 installed (Get here)
- Download the most recent YAWL(currently v4.2) suiting your operating system at GitHub.
- YAWL is ready out of the box, so that's the edition to choose for evaluation purpose.
- YAWL Enterprise should be used in a production enviroment, but needs more configuration and contains no additional features.
- Install YAWL using the guided installer (Windows), during the installation you will be asked your Java installation path.
- Afterwards there should be a folder "YAWL vX.X.XX" in your program menu (Windows).
- Start the YAWL Engine and the YAWL Editor.
- On Windows you may need to adapt your firewall settings.
- As YAWL is now running on Port 8080 on your local machine.
- Examine for example the "/misc/examples/SimpleMakeTripProcess.yawl" specification in the YAWL editor
- Now point your browser to the url "http://localhost:8080/resourceService/" and login using the credentials "admin / YAWL"
- Congratulations! Your YAWL system is running.
- If you would like to evaluate some of it's features, please head on to the next tutorial "Run a sample workflow"
- If there are any issues, please consult the YAWL manual chapter 2 for more information.
Install doesn't pass thru "stop YAWL engine"
I am trying to install YAWL 3.0 (Mac OSX Maverick). I receive the message:
- Please stop the running YAWL engine (or nay Tomcat instance).
I am not aware having any engine running. This message puzzle me. How can I get thru the install?
Can't install with YAWL 4.0 either due to same message
Please stop the running YAWL engine (or nay Tomcat instance)
I am not running either. Are there any other ways to install other than the installer?
