Learn how to set up a tile development environment from simple standalone tools to a full Tanzu Operations Manager
development environment.
As you progress through the [stages](stages.html) of
tile development, you might progress through this environment.

## <a id='pcf'></a> <%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %> with Operations Manager

### <a id='shared'></a> Shared <%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %> Development environments for VMware Tanzu Partners

<%= vars.company_name %> operates and manages a number of shared <%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %> development environments,
called Pivotal Integration Environments (PIEs),
for Pivotal Technical Partnership Program (PTPP) program members to develop their tiles on.

To use your assigned PIE environment:

1. Log in to <%= vars.company_name %> Tile Dashboard using the credentials that you use for [Partners Slack](https://pivotalpartners.slack.com/).

1. Click the `pie-xx` environment assigned to you.

1. Log in to Operations Manager with the given Operations Manager URL and credentials.

1. Log in to Apps Manager or the cf CLI with the Cloud Foundry information provided on the same page.

If you are not in the PTPP or cannot access the Partners Slack, contact [Tanzu Support](https://tanzu.vmware.com/support).

### <a id='diy'></a> Install your own <%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %> environment

If you need an isolated or dedicated <%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %> development environment, or you must work offline, you can install your own environment that includes Operations Manager:

- [Installing <%= vars.platform_name %>](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Tanzu-Operations-Manager/3.0/vmware-tanzu-ops-manager/install-install-index.html)
<a name='operations'></a>
- [Operating <%= vars.platform_name %>](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Tanzu-Operations-Manager/3.0/vmware-tanzu-ops-manager/index.html)
<a name='upgrade'></a>
- [Upgrading <%= vars.platform_name %>](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Tanzu-Operations-Manager/3.0/vmware-tanzu-ops-manager/upgrade-index.html)

The PTPP program does not troubleshoot partner installations of <%= vars.platform_name %> development
environments.
