What you need for this book

The only requirements are to have a Pentaho 5.X installed, but it's recommended to install 6.X.

When installing Pentaho, there is the option to include some sample data, so please do it. Most of the samples make use of it, so to properly make use of samples, you will need to include them. It is known as the Steelwheels sample data. This includes a database of Metadata and Mondrian schemas.

To make proper use of Pentaho Builder Application Server, you will need a browser. Even if Pentaho, in some of its versions, supports Internet Explorer 8, we just can't use this version when building responsive dashboards or making use of CSS3. You will need to have a higher version, such as Internet Explorer 9 or even better, make use of Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.

The reader should have knowledge of JavaScript, JQuery, and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Not that it's mandatory to know the technologies, but it's the way the user will take the most out of some CTools.
