Installing Designer on Unix/Linux

You can install Designer on a Unix or Linux system either by using the Installation Wizard or in the silent way. Silent installation frees you from participation in the installation process.

To install Designer on Unix/Linux using the Installation Wizard:

1. Download the Designer installation file for Unix/Linux from the Logi Report download center.
2. Select the installation file to launch the Installation Wizard. Alternatively, you can open a console window and run the following commands:

   To change the directory to the location of the installation file:

   $ cd thepath

   To make the installation file executable:

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

   To run the installation file:

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

3. Once the Installation Wizard is successfully loaded, you can then follow the standard prompts to install Designer.

To install Designer on Unix/Linux silently:

1. Download the Designer installation file for Unix/Linux from the Logi Report download center.
2. Get the file DesignerInstall.properties used for silent Logi Report Designer installation from Logi Analytics Support at support@logianalytics.com.
3. Put DesignerInstall.properties to the directory where the Designer installation file is saved.
4. Edit DesignerInstall.properties to suit your requirements.
5. Open a console window and change the directory to the location of the installation file.

   $ cd thepath

6. Run the following command to make the installation file executable:

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

7. Run the following command to install Designer in the designated path:

   $ ./designer-xxx-linux.bin LAX_VM "USER_JAVA_HOME/bin/java" -i silent -f DesignerInstall.properties (Change designer-xxx-linux.bin to the real file name of the installation file.)

Running Designer on Unix/Linux

Run the script file JReport.sh in <install_root>/bin. You can modify this script file by adding additional classes before launching Designer.

$ ./JReport.sh

Uninstalling Designer on Unix/Linux

Execute uninstaller.sh in <install_root>/_uninst.

Alternatively, you can open a console window, change the directory to the location of the uninstaller.sh file and run the file.

To change the directory:

$ cd thepath

Run the uninstaller file:

$ ./uninstaller
