JReport Designer on UNIX

Installing JReport Designer on UNIX

To install JReport Designer on UNIX, follow the steps below:

1. Download the JReport Designer installation file for UNIX jrpsetup.sh from the Jinfonet download center: http://www.jinfonet.com/downloadjreport/.
2. Click the executable file jrpsetup.sh to launch the InstallShield Wizard. Alternatively, you can open a console window, and change the directory to the location of the jrpsetup.sh file. The following are examples of the commands that can be used.

   $ cd thepath

   To make jrpsetup.sh executable, type the command:

   $ chmod +x jrpsetup.sh

   To run jrpsetup.sh:

   $ ./jrpsetup.sh

3. Once the InstallShield Wizard has been successfully loaded, you can then follow the default prompt to install JReport Designer.

During the installation, pay attention to the following:

• The InstallShield Wizard will first find a JVM to get started. If no JVM is found, the JReport installer will fail to launch. To resolve this issue you can specify a JVM for the InstallShield Wizard with the option -is:javahome as below.
  $ ./jrpsetup.sh is:javahome /home/j2sdk1.4.2
• You are recommended to use JDK version 1.4.2 or later version.
• In addition, the InstallShield Wizard will generate temp files during installation. You can specify a temp directory with the -is :tempdir option as below. Otherwise, the system temp directory will be used. These temp files are automatically removed once the installation is complete.
  $ ./jrpsetup.sh is:tempdir /home/temp
