To install Pentaho Reporting, your first task is to download Pentaho Report Designer. Visit http://reporting.pentaho.org, and follow the link to download the Report Designer, under the Report Creation Tools section of the webpage. Follow the link to download the latest stable binary distribution.
When downloading Pentaho Report Designer, three packages are available. The first two packages, prd-ce-*.zip
and prd-ce-*.tar.gz
, contain the binary distribution archived in their preferred archive formats. The third package, prd-ce-src-*.zip
, contains the entire source code of the Pentaho Report Designer. If modifications are necessary, if you would like to build the project yourself, or if you would like to take a look at the source, download the source distribution. Otherwise, stick with the binary distributions.
Once you've downloaded the binary distribution of the Report Designer, create a directory on your machine and unzip the contents of the package into that...
