We have already set up all the prerequisites on our system. Let us extract Activiti 5.13 onto one of our drives.
To install the Activiti framework on the system, we will use Apache Tomcat; perform the following steps:
activiti-explorer.war
from the activiti-5.xwars
folder and place it in the apache-tomcat-7.0.33webapps
folder, as shown in the following screenshot:activiti-explorer.war
file is deployed to the webapps
folder.apache-tomcat-7.0.33in
and double-click on startup.bat
, as shown in the following screenshot:startup.bat
file will start executing and deploying the Activiti Explorer on the system. During installation, it will set up the Activiti Engine, H2 database, default users, and much more. The result of this installation can be seen in the following screenshot:apache-tomcat-7.0.33webappsactiviti-explorer
path once the installation is completed.war
file will be the same as that for the Windows operating system. To start Apache Tomcat, we need to browse to the ../apache-tomcat-7.0.33/bin
path using the command prompt and execute the following command:sh catalina.sh run
The result of executing the previous command is shown in the following screenshot:
Activiti is installed; but, to verify whether or not the installation was done properly, open your favorite browser and type the localhost:8080/activiti-explorer
URL container and press Enter. If you get the Activiti login screen, it means you have set up Activiti successfully. If you face any problems, make sure that Tomcat has started and also check whether or not Activiti-explorer.war
is deployed successfully.
