Practical 1: Setup Visual Paradigm

Visual Paradigm is a powerful modeling and design tool widely used for software development,
business process modeling, and system analysis. Before you can start creating diagrams and
managing projects, you need to install the software and set up a project workspace.
This article guides you through the initial steps to download, install, and launch
Visual Paradigm so you can get started quickly and smoothly.

Getting Started with Visual Paradigm
