| = Hop Gui |
| |
| The Apache Hop GUI is your local development environment to build, run, preview and debug workflows and pipelines. |
| |
| == Start the Apache Hop GUI |
| |
| As we've seen in xref:getting-started/hop-tools.adoc[Hop Tools], starting Hop-Gui is easy: |
| |
| On Linux or Mac: |
| |
| [source,bash] |
| ./hop-gui.sh |
| |
| On Windows: |
| |
| [source,shell script] |
| hop-gui.bat |
| |
| == Walking through the Hop GUI |
| |
| After starting the Apache Hop GUI, you’ll be presented with the window below. |

| |
| * the **menu bar** includes options mainly for managing pipelines and workflows and the Apache Hop GUI configuration. |
| * the **main toolbar** includes the New option to create files (pipelines and workflows) and metadata, and the options to manage projects and environments. |
| * the **perspectives toolbar** includes switcher icons between the various perspectives. |
| |
| Let's see how we can use Hop Gui to do what Hop is all about: create pipelines and workflows! |
