Set up your [local build environment](https://docs.mulesoft.com/accelerators-home/build-environment) with the required software and Maven build configuration. 2. Download and configure the assets required for the use case(s) you wish to implement. Some use cases will require changes to the systems being integrated (for example, SAP, Salesforce Service Cloud, etc.) Be sure to read and follow the instructions specified for each accelerator carefully. This also applies when using only a few select assets instead of implementing complete use cases. 3. Deploy the applications individually to your own CloudHub instance, either manually or by using simple Maven commands. There may also be some helper configuration files available for deploying multiple components at once. Refer to the sections below for more details on obtaining and using accelerator assets. ### Asset Types The following table provides more information about the types of accelerator assets provided and how they fit into the overall solution.
TypePurposeExample

API Spec Fragments

Shared RAML specifications reused by multiple APIs. These define standard characteristics, data types and response codes common across most APIs.

Accelerator Global Resources

REST APIs

RAML specifications describing the resources and methods an API makes available to consumers. They are categorized into layers - System, Process, Experience - as per MuleSoft’s API-led approach.

Accelerator OMS System API

Templates

Runtime implementations of individual APIs and other integrations. These must be customized and deployed to your own Mule runtime environment (for example, CloudHub) to implement desired use cases.

Accelerator OMS System API - Implementation Template

Custom assets

Documentation and other downloadable components that do not fit into other categories.

### Obtaining Accelerator Assets All accelerator assets are available from the main Anypoint Exchange site and are freely downloadable by customers with current subscriptions. Refer to the sections in the page navigation menu on the left for more information about configuring, building, and deploying these assets. The following instructions assume you have already configured your Maven `settings.xml` file according to the [build environment configuration](https://docs.mulesoft.com/accelerators-home/build-environment) guide. #### Import Directly into Anypoint Studio ##### Import from Exchange All accelerator templates can be imported into Anypoint Studio directly from Exchange if your Anypoint credentials have been provided; refer to the Studio documentation for more details. - From Studio, open the Exchange window. - If prompted, log in to Anypoint Exchange. - Select the `Provided by MuleSoft` view. - Click the **Asset type** selector, and then choose **Templates**. - Copy and paste the title of this API into the **Search** field and press **Enter** on your keyboard. - Click on the desired result to open the home page for the asset. - Click on the **Open** icon to import the asset into the current workspace. If it appears, you can safely cancel out of the `Update your Workspace` dialog as well as the subsequent `Are you sure?` prompt: our templates will work correctly with or without the suggested changes. ##### Download and Import Manually to Anypoint Studio The following instructions assume you are viewing this page from your browser: - Click the **Download** button and save the template archive to your local file system. - In Studio, ensure the current perspective is set to `Mule Design`. - Right-click in an empty area in the `Package Explorer` and select **Import...**. - In the select dialog, expand the **Anypoint Studio** folder. - Choose the `Packaged mule application (.jar)` option and click **Next >**. - Enter the full path name of the downloaded jar file or select from the file browser. - Remove the version and `mule-application-template` suffixes from the project name, if desired. - Click **Finish** to import the project. As above, you can safely cancel out of the `Update your Workspace` dialog, if prompted. #### Import into Anypoint Code Builder To import into Anypoint Code Builder, visit [Importing Projects into the IDE](https://docs.mulesoft.com/anypoint-code-builder/int-import-mule-project). ### Next Steps Ensure your [Build Environment](https://docs.mulesoft.com/accelerators-home/build-environment) is configured correctly before attempting to import or deploy any assets. Also refer to the [Application Deployment](https://docs.mulesoft.com/accelerators-home/application-deployment), [Application Testing](https://docs.mulesoft.com/accelerators-home/application-testing) and [Additional Customizations](https://docs.mulesoft.com/accelerators-home/additional-customizations) pages for more details on deploying, testing, and customizing accelerator assets.
