If you are new to the PEGA PRPC system it is recommended that you download the Exercise System to learn the bits and pieces of PRPC components and workflow system.

When you click on the Applications it extracts the files to your local machine. PEGA PRPC recommends that you keep 15 GB space to run the PEGA PRPC system on your machine.
Once the applications has extracted all the files you can see that it has extracted two folders “application” and “Server” and a text file named “pvs_release_note”.
The second step involves running the VMware_64bit_check applications from applications folder which basically checks your system compatibility to see if it can run the PEGA PRPC system on not.
The third step involves running the VMware-player-4.0.2-591240 application file from applications folder which basically installs a virtual machine in your local machine. This VM machine has all the required components to run PEGA PRPC system.
Once the VMware Player setup is complete you can navigate to Start->Program Files->VMWare to launch the PEGA PRPC system.
To login to PRPC system you need to provide login id and password which is shown in the VMware player screen. Once you are successfully login into the system, you need to open Internet Explorer and visit to http://prpc:8080 and you will be presented with the PEGA PRPC login screen.
