frePPLe 4.0 documentation
To get started we suggest the following
introduction trail
:
Install the software
The easiest start to learn frePPLe is to use an online demo environment.
Installing it locally on a Windows machine is also easy. An all-in-one installer installs the planning engine, PostgreSQL database and the user interface web server.
Follow the guided tour
The application has an integrated guided tour. It interactively guides you through the main screens in less than 10 minutes.
Build your own model
The userface has an integrated wizard that will guide you through building your first model step by step.
