Chapter 2. Installation and Configuration

In this chapter we will look at the system requirements to be able to correctly execute the Pentaho Report Designer (PRD), and we will explain how to meet these requirements step-by-step.

We will download PRD 5.0 from SourceForge.net and explain how different versions of PRD are organized on the download site.

Once we have downloaded PRD, we will install it in our operating system. We will also explain how to configure the drivers that will be used and how to assign more RAM to the PRD execution environment.

Throughout this book we use the MySQL example database Sakila DB for creating different reports. We will explain what Sakila DB is and how to download and install it using the MySQL command-line processor (CLP).

We will show the tables of Sakila DB and their relations using entity relationship diagrams (ERD).

In this chapter we will learn how to:

Install the JDK
Set the JAVA_HOME and PATH variables
Download and install Pentaho Report Designer...
