Download and unpack installation files

The Pentaho Server and Operations Mart installation files are delivered as compressed files that need to be downloaded and unpacked into the correct directories prior to starting the Pentaho archive installation process.

The Pentaho Server software, data files, and examples are stored in pre-packaged .war and .zip files. You will need to manually copy these files to the correct directories.

Unpack installation files

Complete the following steps to unpack the installation files and move the contents to the correct directories:

1. Locate the following two files that you downloaded in the previous section:

   • Pentaho Server: pentaho-server-manual-ee-11.0.0.0-<build number>.zip

   • Operations Mart: pentaho-server-manual-ee-11.0.0.0-<build number>.zip

3. Unpack the pentaho-operations-mart-11.0.0.0-<build number>.zip file and move the contents into the /pentaho/server/pentaho-server directory.

4. In the /pentaho-server directory, navigate to the /pentaho-server-manual-ee directory.

5. Unpack the following ZIP files and place the contents of the files in the appropriate directories.

   File to unpack	Directory where you move the file contents

   jdbc-distribution-utility.zip	pentaho/server
   pentaho-data.zip	pentaho/server/pentaho-server
   pentaho-solutions.zip	pentaho/server/pentaho-server

6. Copy the .war and .html files to the following directories on your web application server.​

   File	Directories that you copy the file into
   pentaho.war	pentaho/server/pentaho-server/<tomcat installation directory>/webapps
   pentaho-style.war	pentaho/server/pentaho-server/<tomcat installation directory>/webapps
   PentahoServer_OSS_Licenses.html	pentaho/server/pentaho-server

Verify directory structure

After you have finished unpacking installation files, the newly created Pentaho directory structure should contain directories and subdirectories for the Pentaho Server and Operations Marts plugin.

1. Verify that the Pentaho files are placed in the correct locations by comparing the pentaho directory structure, as shown, with yours.

   • pentaho/server/pentaho-server/

   • pentaho/server/pentaho-server/data/<database name>

2. If your web application server is located in a directory other than the pentaho/server/pentaho-server directory, verify that the pentaho.war and pentaho-style.war files are located where you've chosen to install your web application server.
