## Setting up JReport on your system

The JReport Tutorial assumes that you have downloaded and installed both JReport Designer and JReport Server on a Windows 7 machine.

The JReport Tutorial also assumes that you are performing the lessons on a Windows 7 machine and therefore operating system specific commands and screen shots reflect this. However JReport can run on multiple platforms.
