Adding Community Runtime

Anypoint Studio comes bundled with an embedded Enterprise runtime with a 30-day Enterprise trial license. You can add Community runtime to your Anypoint Studio instance to build and test applications in the free, open-source Mule runtime environment.

The steps explained in this document are also valid for downloading and installing earlier versions of the Mule runtime, both of Enterprise and Community Edition.

  1. In Studio, under the Help menu, select Install New Software.

  2. In the Work With field of the Install wizard, use the drop-down menu to select:

    Mule ESB Runtimes for Anypoint Studio

    StudioRuntimes

  3. Check the box to select Anypoint Studio Community Runtimes, and click Next.

  4. Click one or more runtimes you want to install. If you only want one version, expand the item and click the version you want. After selecting one or more versions, click Next.

  5. Click to agree to the terms and conditions of the license agreement, and click Finish. Studio installs the Community runtimes. This may take several minutes to complete depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the number of runtimes you select.

  6. Click to agree to restart Anypoint Studio.

  7. When Studio restarts, under the File menu, select New > Mule Project.

  8. In the New Project wizard, click to select a CE option (CE stands for Community Edition).
