Install ColdFusion Builder

The procedure for installing Adobe® ColdFusion® Builder™ varies according to your platform (Microsoft® Windows® or Apple® Mac OS® X) and ColdFusion Builder configuration (stand-alone or Eclipse™ plug-in configuration). Follow the procedure applicable to your platform and configuration.

About the ColdFusion Builder installation

The Adobe ColdFusion Builder Installation wizard guides you through the various steps of the installation with an intuitive interface.

The ColdFusion Builder installer provides the following two configuration options:

If you are not sure which configuration to install, follow these guidelines:

  • If you already use and have Eclipse 4.6 or higher installed, select the plug-in configuration.

  • If you do not have Eclipse 4.6 or higher installed, select the stand-alone configuration. This configuration also allows you to install other Eclipse plug-ins, so you can expand the scope of your development work in the future.

The two configurations provide the same functionality. However, some menu names and the ways to access the menu commands sometimes differ slightly in the plug-in configuration.

System requirements

The system requirements depend on the operating system of your computer. To view the ColdFusion Builder system requirements, see System requirements.
