Camunda Modeler

The graphical tool Camunda Modeler is a freely available tool to create graphical models for business processes and decisions. The technical configuration to execute the models with software can also be added with Camunda Modeler. It adds a number of vendor specific extensions and features to the base modelling capabilities of the open source bpmn.io modeller project, from the same vendor, Camunda.

This training may not be about Camunda specifically, but we will use the Camunda Modeler during the assignments.

Install Camunda Modeler by downloading it from the website. Although Modeler can be installed as an application native to your operating system, simply extracting the application to a folder somewhere is normally enough to be able to run and use it. Therefore, when offered the choice when downloading the tool for your operating system, choose the archived version, a zip or tar.gz file.

In the extracted folder or your folder with application launchers, there should be a Camunda Modeler application. Run or double-click it.

The application should start up. That’s enough for now, we’ll look at Camunda Modeler during the training’s assignments.
