The following software is required for installation in one’s local environment:

- Two basic run modes can be installed: Author and Publish. The Author run mode is the environment that developers will use to create and manage content.
- When developing most of the time you will be deploying code to an Author instance.
- The Publish instance is the AEM environment in that visitors to your website will interact
- Extract the AEM quickstart Jar and rename the jar file.
- Aem-author-p4502.jar (Application Name-Run mode-Port No.)
- Open command/ terminal and run the command
java –jar aem-author-p4502.jarand enter a password using admin.
- AEM Server will be up in 5 minutes and the AEM console will open on port 4502.
- The following screen comes up when the server is up and enters a password use admin.
Step 5 - Install Service Pack 12
Install the service pack on Experience Manager 6.5
- Restart the instance before installation if the instance is in update mode (when the instance was updated from an earlier version). Adobe recommends a restart if the current uptime for an instance is high.
- Before installing, take a snapshot or a fresh backup of your Experience Manager instance.
- Download the service pack from Software Distribution.
