Miragon BPMN Modeler

Appearance

↓ Install

Getting Started (IntelliJ) ​

The Miragon BPMN Modeler is also available for IntelliJ IDEA (and the other IntelliJ-based JetBrains IDEs ≥ 2024.2). It opens .bpmn files in a JCEF (embedded Chromium) editor that renders the same bpmn-js modeler used by the VS Code extension and the standalone app.

The plugin is available on the official JetBrains Marketplace, so it installs through the regular Marketplace flow — no custom repository setup required.

Requirements ​

  • IntelliJ IDEA Community / Ultimate 2024.2 or newer (any 2024.2+ IDE based on the IntelliJ Platform works — PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, …).
  • A platform with a bundled bridge binary: macOS arm64 / x64, Linux x64 / arm64, Windows x64.

No Node.js install is required — the plugin ships a self-contained bridge binary for each supported platform.

Install ​

  1. Open Settings → Plugins.
  2. Select the Marketplace tab.
  3. Search for Miragon BPMN Modeler and click Install.
  4. Restart the IDE when prompted.

Updates are delivered automatically: the IDE offers new versions from the Marketplace on its normal schedule under Settings → Plugins → Updates.

Open a diagram ​

Create or open any .bpmn file in your project — the modeler opens automatically as the default editor for that file type.

Where to next ​

  • VS Code Getting Started — same modeling features, different host.
  • Features overview — feature documentation is hosted under /vscode/ but the underlying capabilities apply to the IntelliJ plugin too (the modeling engine is shared).
