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 Hop Tools, starting Hop-Gui is easy:
-
Windows
-
Linux, macOS
hop-gui.bat./hop-gui.shWalking through the Hop GUI
After starting the Apache Hop GUI, you’ll be presented with the window below.
Let’s divide the view into two parts:

-
The main toolbar offers a range of functions, including creating new files (such as pipelines and workflows) and adding metadata. It also provides options for managing projects and environments, as well as tools specifically for handling pipelines, workflows, and project settings.
-
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!
