Desktop Modeler
The Mendix Modeler supports Windows 7, 8, and 10. It supports both 32-bit and 64-bit variations, but 64-bit is recommended.
The following frameworks are automatically installed (if necessary):
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package
- Java Development Kit 1.8
You can choose which JDK is used for building and running locally through the Edit > Preferences menu item.
If you want to use TortoiseSVN in combination with the Modeler, download the latest version 1.7.x from the Sourceforge page.
Team Server
The Team Server is implemented using Subversion and the Modeler uses the HTTPS protocol to communicate with that server. To access the Team Server from within the Modeler, the network at your location needs the following settings:
- The HTTPS port (TCP 443) needs to be open.
- The HTTP port (TCP 80) needs to be open.
- WebDAV - verbs within the HTTP protocol - needs to be enabled on the proxy server (if any).
Web Modeler
The Mendix Web Modeler is optimized for use with Chrome. While Chrome is the officially supported browser, you can also use the Web Modeler with other popular browsers like Firefox, Safari and Edge. Note: the browser you use needs to have JavaScript turned on.

Java
When running Mendix on a server you will need Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 8.
You can download JREs here:

There is an issue since Java 7, causing timeouts when using Web Services with a certain amount of data. You can circumvent this issue by adding the VM params “-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true”. The Mendix Desktop Modeler will do this for you but if you are running Mendix on premise on a Windows server you will need to do this yourself.
