Download the Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition) ZIP file to your local drive and unzip it.
Because Web AppBuilder runs on top of Node.js, you must have Node.js installed on your computer. The download package contains the Windows version of node.js.
- If you are on a Windows platform, you can follow the steps in the next section to start Web AppBuilder.
- If you are on a platform other than Windows, such as Mac or Linux, you need to install Node.js specifically on your platform first. In case you already have Node.js installed, make sure its version is 0.10.0 and later.

Note:

The minimum version of node.js supported by Web AppBuilder is 0.10.0.

Start Web AppBuilder based on your platform.
- On Windows, double-click the startup.bat file in the unzipped folder. The batch file starts the Node.js server in the Command Prompt window and Web AppBuilder in your default browser with http://[yourmachinename]:3344/webappbuilder. If the browser is closed, you can reopen Web AppBuilder in the same—or a different—browser as long as Node.js is running in the Command Prompt window.
- On other platforms, open the Command Prompt window, cd to the /server directory of the Web AppBuilder installation, and type node server.js. Once Node.js runs, start Web AppBuilder in the browser with http://[yourmachinename]:3344/webappbuilder. If the browser is closed, you can reopen Web AppBuilder in the same—or a different—browser as long as Node.js is running in the Command Prompt window.
Web AppBuilder runs on top of Node.js with the default port of 3344. To run Web AppBuilder with additional parameters, different ports, or as a Windows Service, complete the following steps. Otherwise, see the Specify your portal URL section.
- Run with additional parameters and different ports.
  1. Open a command window and browse to the /server directory of the Web AppBuilder installation.
    - On 64-bit Windows, type node_x64.exe server.js [-port=value] [-proxy=value].
    - On 32-bit Windows, type node_x32.exe server.js [-port=value] [-proxy=value].
    - On other platforms, type node server.js [-port=value] [-proxy=value].
    Note:
    
    -port specifies the port you want Node.js to run on, and -proxy specifies the proxy URL if needed.
  2. Start Web AppBuilder in the browser with the port number specified above at http://[yourmachinename]:[yourport]/webappbuilder.
    Tip:
    
    If you have problems starting Web AppBuilder, see FAQs for more information.
- Run as a Windows service:
  1. Install Node.js on your Windows platform.
  2. Run Command Prompt as administrator.
  3. Browse to the /server directory of Web AppBuilder, and run the npm install command.
  4. Run the npm run-script install-windows-service command.
  5. Start the ArcGISWebAppBuilder service from the Services window.
  6. To remove the ArcGISWebAppBuilder service, run the npm run-script uninstall-windows-service command.

Specify the URL for the ArcGIS Online organization or Portal for ArcGIS account that you want Web AppBuilder to access. To use Web AppBuilder, you must have an ArcGIS Online organization account, a Portal for ArcGIS account, or a ArcGIS for Developers account.
