How to Install SAPUI5 in Windows 7 (updated for version 1.12.1)
In this blog I would be sharing the steps I followed to install SAPUI5 on my Windows 7 machine
Installing and Running Apache Tomcat 7.0
1. Got to Apache Tomcat 7.0 Download Page http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi
2. Download & Run the 32-bit/64-bit Windows Service Installer by clicking on the link on this page.
3. Follow the instructions in the Installer Wizard to complete the Installation (refer http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/setup.html#Windows for more details).
4. You can configure Windows to automatically start Tomcat7 server on startup.
Installing SAPUI5
5. Downloading UI Development Kit for HTML 5 from the link below – http://scn.sap.com/community/developer-center/front-end
6. Unzip and copy the all the .war files into /webapps folder of Tomcat 7.0.
7. Type http://localhost:8080/demokit/ in the Browser
For version 1.12.1:
Type http://localhost:8080/sapui5-sdk in the Browser.
If a page titles SAPUI5 SDK – Demo Kit appears this confirms SAPUI5 is successfully installed on your machine. You can find further information about playing around with SAPUI5 in this application including the Developer Guide & API References.

Hi Tarun Telang
I have installed eclipse 4.2 Juno version separately from
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ and added necessary plug-ins related to SAPUI5 from https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/#sapui5
Now what is the necessary to install the trail version of SAPUI5 from http://scn.sap.com/community/developer-center/front-end/blog/2012/07/04/how-to-install-sapui5-in-windows-7.
Can i manage with current installation that is available with me or do i need to install again the trail edition of SAPUI5 again from SCN site.

We have a newer version of SAP UI5 available now. I would update the blog soon with the required details for the new version.
please check
it applies to Juno release as well.
Hi Tarun,
thanks for your blog!
However, it seems that with the current SAPUI5-Evaluation (Version 1.12.1) there is no demokit.war. Instead this can be found in the sapui5-sdk.war.
So the correct link would be http://localhost:8080/sapui5-sdk/
Best regards,
Stefan
Thanks Stefan, for the updated information on the latest version of SAP UI5.

HI Tarun ,
There is another tool or addon called Neptune which is SAP approved , is also available where we can develop mobile apps..
To me it looks very compact having all features needed for mobile development including SAPUI5...
And we dont have to go anywhere out to develop mobile apps ... just in side SAP we can develop and export it..
But I dont know how it differes from other mobile techs in the market..
Kind Regards
Rama...
