Process Designer runs
only on Windows. If IBM Process Designer for
authoring processes was not installed when you installed the Process Center, you
can download and install Process Designer from
the Process Center console.
Using Installation Manager to install Process Designer is
not supported.
About this task
Note: Process Designer, Process Center,
and each runtime environment must be running the same version of IBM® Business Process Manager.
Procedure

- Click the IBM Process Designer Download option.
When you are prompted, save the IBM Process Designer.zip file
to your file system. This file contains everything that you need to

to complete.

Process Designer.zip file to a temporary directory on your
file system.

directory where you extracted the contents of the IBM Process
Designer.zip file.
