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.bin from the Jinfonet download center: http://www.jinfonet.com/downloadjreport/.
2. Click the executable file jrpsetup.bin to launch the Installation Wizard. Alternatively, you can open a console window, and change the directory to the location of the jrpsetup.bin file. The following are examples of the commands that can be used.

   $ cd thepath

   To make jrpsetup.bin executable, type the command:

   $ chmod +x jrpsetup.bin

   To run jrpsetup.bin:

3. Once the Installation 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 Installation 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 try either way:
  • Set JAVA_HOME in system environment.

  • Specify a JVM for Installation Wizard with the option LAX_VM as follows:

    $ ./jrpsetup.bin LAX_VM "/home/jdk1.6.0_17/bin/java"

    The JDK path should use absolute path and be quoted by "".

• You are recommended to use JDK 6 or higher versions.
