Windows Installation fails

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions
1

Hello,

I tried to install the camunda-bpm-tomcat-7.11.0.zip, downloaded from the website.
So I unzipped the files an tried to start.
It is written “Run start-camunda.bat (Windows)”, but I get the error message “startup.bat” cannot be found.
If I try to analyze the bat-file, something is written about paths, which cannot be found.

Thanks for help in advance!

Hi @mruehl,

welcome to the Forum.

In the zip-file there is actually nothing that needs to be installed.
To get Camunda running you need to do this:

  1. Download the Camunda zip-file from the Camunda Website
  2. Unzip it in a directory of your choice
  3. double click on the start-camunda.bat file or execute it from a command line

(Make sure that Java is installed on your device)

If these steps don’t work for you, please share a screenshot where we can see what is happening.

Regards
Michael

Thanks for your answer. I reproduced the error, but I think my mistake was to run the bat-File as administrator.

But now I have a new error:

Neither the JAVA_HOME nor the JRE_HOME environment variable is defined
At least one of these environment variable is needed to run this program
C:\Users\mar\Downloads\camunda-bpm-tomcat-7.11.0\server\apache-tomcat-9.0.19\bin>

Java is installed, Java 8, Update 211.

For windows:
Go to Control Panel ==> System and Security ==> System ==> Advanced System Properties ==> Environment Variables ==> User variables ==> New

Popup will open, then:

Key: JAVA_HOME
Value:C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_71 (Put your jdk path)
