Hi @saishankerm: There is no official documentation for this setup. Recommendation is to use the community trial editions.
Alternatively you can check this thread for some details.
Please note that there is no more personal editions released from Pega other than Community trial.
Thanks.

@ArulDevan Thank you for the support article.
I am preparing for CLSA, I could find pega provided a VM file to use for the build and practice.
I curious to find out if anyone installed pega natively on Apple Silicon chips.
Anything can be done by using Docker - Container based deployment ?

The exercise VM is made available as an Open Virtualization Archive (OVA) file that contains a compressed, "installable" version of a virtual machine. You can download the VM OVA file and corresponding checksum (MD5) by using the following links:
