1. Create two folders, author and publish, each with the quickstart jar (renamed as above) and license.properties.
2. Double-click or run java -jar aem-author-p4502.jar. First start takes several minutes.
3. Install the latest Service Pack via Package Manager on both instances.
4. Log in at http://localhost:4502 with the admin credentials configured for your local instance.

Run modes are encoded in the jar filename: author/publish and the port. See Run modes.
