Extract it and add temporal.exe to your PATH.

After installing, open a new Terminal window and start the development server:

+ +temporal server start-dev + + +
+

Change the Web UI port

+

The Temporal Web UI may be on a different port in some examples or tutorials. To change the port for the Web UI, use the --ui-port option when starting the server:

+ +temporal server start-dev --ui-port 8080 + +

The Temporal Web UI will now be available at http://localhost:8080.
