Bowtie Designer is designed for use on SharePoint® Online only, at present. Here are the steps to Install:

Get it here

Make app available to users (admin)

1. Use your copy of the software (single file of type .sppkg)
2. Open your SharePoint® App Catalog page. This can be reached through the Admin pages, and you need to be an administrator to use it. If your SharePoint(r) Online domain is https://fabrikam.sharepoint.com, then the App Catalog will be at https://fabrikam.sharepoint.com/sites/appCatalog
3. Click the Upload button and select the file
4. Choose “Only enable app”

5. Then Enable

Add app to a specific site (site owner)

1. Follow the standard Microsoft® process for adding an app to your site, as explained here
2. When you first add Bowtie Designer to a site, it will create a List that you can use for your first diagram (you can make additional lists for more diagrams)
3. Create a Site Page where your app will be displayed
4. Edit the Site Page and add the Bowtie Designer web app
5. Using the web app controls, open the app properties pane

6. Choose the automatically-created list as your data source and close the property panel

7. The web app will immediately open a ‘starter’ diagram for you, and you may begin editing.

Add Licence Key

If you want to unlock the additional features, then you can purchase a licence key. The key is added directly to property pane of the app, by the site owner, on any pages which host the web part.

The licence key is locked to your SharePoint Online domain (e.g. fabrikam.sharepoint.com), so it is no use to other sites. Make sure you get your host name exactly right when you purchase your licence.
