Installing on UNIX

JReport Enterprise Server supports Solaris, Linux, HP-UNIX, and AIX. In the following process, an X server is running and Java 1.4.2 or above is available, otherwise ask your administrator for help. Installing and running JReport Enterprise Server requires that an X server has been configured.

1. Download the JReport Enterprise Server installation file for UNIX EntSvrSetup.sh from the Jinfonet download center: http://www.jinfonet.com/downloadjreport/.

   If you need to transfer the installation file from your download machine to your UNIX box, you should transfer it using FTP in binary mode. Although the installation file is named with a .sh suffix, it is a binary file.

2. Click the executable file EntSvrSetup.sh to launch the InstallShield Wizard. Alternatively, you can open a console window, and change the directory to the location of the EntSvrSetup.sh file. Following are examples of the commands that can be used:

   $ cd /opt/JReport/Server (or your preferred install location)

   To make EntSvrSetup.sh executable, type the command:
   $ chmod +x EntSvrSetup.sh

   Run EntSvrSetup.sh:
   $ ./EntSvrSetup.sh

   The InstallShield Wizard will first locate a JVM to get started. If no JVM is found, the installer will fail to launch. To solve this issue, you can specify a JVM for InstallShield Wizard with the option -is:javahome as follows:

   $ ./EntSvrSetup.sh -is:javahome /opt/j2sdk1.4.2_02

   Note: The option -is:help (only for UNIX) can be used to list all the InstallShield Command Line Options:

   $ ./EntSvrSetup.sh -is:help

3. Once the InstallShield Wizard has successfully loaded, you can follow the standard prompts to install JReport Enterprise Server.
