Installing Logi JReport Designer on Unix

To install Logi JReport Designer on Unix, follow the steps below:

1. Download the Logi JReport Designer installation file for Unix from the Jinfonet download center: http://www.jinfonet.com/downloadLogi JReport/.
2. Select the installation file to launch the Installation Wizard. Alternatively, you can open a console window, and change the directory to the location of the file. The following are examples of the commands that can be used.

   $ cd thepath

   To make the installation file executable, type the command:

   $ chmod +x jrdesigner-xxx-linux.bin (change jrdesigner-xxx-linux.bin to the real file name of the installation file)

   To run the installation file:

   $ ./jrdesigner-xxx-linux.bin (change jrdesigner-xxx-linux.bin to the real file name of the installation file)

3. Once the Installation Wizard has been successfully loaded, you can then follow the default prompt to install Logi 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 Logi JReport installer will fail to launch. To resolve this issue, you can try either way:
  • Set JAVA_HOME variable and append $JAVA_HOME/bin to PATH variable in system environment.

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

    $ ./jrdesigner-xxx-linux.bin LAX_VM "/home/jdk1.7.0_17/bin/java" (change jrdesigner-xxx-linux.bin to the real file name of the installation file)

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

• You are recommended to use JDK 7 or higher versions.
