+== Installing the REST Editor
+
+APEX comes with a RESR Editor application realized as a servlett.
+This requires a _full_ installation of APEX.
+This requires a web server that can execute `war` web archives.
+We recommend to use link:https://tomcat.apache.org/[Apache Tomcat], however other web servers can be used as well.
+
+Install Apache Tomcat including the `Manager App`, see link:https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/manager-howto.html#Configuring_Manager_Application_Access[V9.0 Docs] for details.
+Start the Tomcat service, or make sure that Tomcat is running.
+Locate the APEX monitoring application in your local APEX installation.
+
+[source%nowrap,sh,numbered,subs="attributes+"]
+----
+$APEX_HOME/war/apex-services.client-editor-{release-version}.war
+----
+
+[source%nowrap,bat,numbered,subs="attributes+"]
+----
+%APEX_HOME%\war\apex-services.client-editor-{release-version}.war
+----
+
+There are multiple ways to install the APEX monitoring application:
+
+- copy the `.war` file into the Tomcat `webapps` folder
+- use the Tomcat `Manager App` to deploy via the web interface
+- deploy using a REST call to Tomcat
+
+For details on how to install `war` files please consult the link:https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/index.html[Tomcat Documentation] or the link:https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/manager-howto.html[Manager App HOW-TO].
+Once you installed the APEX monitoring application (and wait for sufficient time for Tomcat to finalize the installation), open the `Manager App` in Tomcat.
+You should see the APEX REST Editor application being installed and running.
+
+In case of errors, examine the log files in the Tomcat log directory.
+In a conventional install, those log files are in the logs directory where Tomcat is installed.
+
+Once the APEX REST Editor is installed, open a browser (or a new tab) and use the following URL to connect to the APEX monitoring application.
+Change the values for the Tomcat port (`10080` in the example), the APEX REST EDITOR version (`{release-version}` in the example), and the APEX management port (`12345` in the example, taken from the example configuration) to your local settings.
+If your browser is not opened on the same host as the APEX engine runs, change `localhost` to the host name with the APEX engine.
+
+[source%nowrap,url,subs="attributes+"]
+----
+http://localhost:10080/apex%2Dauth.rest%2D{release-version}/
+----
+
+The browser will now show the APEX REST Editor.
+
+Terminate the browser now (or the tab with the application).
+Finally, if you do not want to use Tomcat for any other applications, terminate the Tomcat server as well.
