Installing Mule Runtime in Studio

Anypoint Studio comes bundled with an embedded Enterprise runtime with a 30-day Enterprise trial license. You can install newer or earlier versions of the Mule runtime, whether Enterprise or Community versions.

  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 the update site for Mule.

    A window appears, displaying your software installation choices

    If Studio does not show a list of update sites from the drop-down menu, you need to add this update site manually:

    1. Click the Add…​ button next to the drop-down menu.

    2. In Name, add a name for this update site. For example: Mule ESB Runtimes.

    3. In Location, add the Mule runtimes update site: http://studio.mulesoft.org/r3/studio-runtimes/

  3. Check the box to select Community or Enterprise and click Next.

  4. Select 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.

  6. Click to agree to restart Anypoint Studio.

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