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 you have loaded the Logi Report Designer Installation Wizard , 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 Designer installation from Logi Analytics Support at support@logianalytics.com.
3. Put DesignerInstall.properties to the directory where you save the Designer installation file.
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.)

When installing Designer silently, make sure you do not use overwrite installation, instead, install it to a new directory.

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
