Follow all the steps there.

What you have posted looks like a web browser, which is used to _download the designer launcher app_, designer sessions are _not actually launched from a web browser_

Ensure you have the port, default 8088, appended to localhost e.g. **localhost:8088**

Ensure your gateway is running (Check status on the gateway webpage using a browser)

Check your firewall isn't blocking traffic
