Installing the Sample Applications

When you start the Software AG Designer for the very first time, you will see a so-called "Welcome" page. From this page, you can install several sample applications for NaturalONE. If the welcome page is not visible, you can open it as described below.

Important:
Before installing a sample application, open the NaturalONE perspective and wait until the startup of the local Tomcat server has completed. When you start NaturalONE for the very first time, this will take some time. In the Console view, you can keep track of the Tomcat status.
