# Install Pentaho software

Install the Pentaho software prior to using the Streamlined Data Refinery.

1. Install the latest version of Pentaho software.

   If you are installing Pentaho using the Evaluation method with Postgres, choose the default option for installation, and then enter `password` for the Postgres password information.

   **Note:** See the **Install Pentaho Data Integration and Analytics** document for instructions on installung the latest version of Pentaho software.
2. Log in to the Pentaho User Console (PUC), and verify that it is working properly.
3. Log out of PUC, then stop the Pentaho Server.

If you are using Vertica, you will need to [install the Vertica JDBC driver](/pdia-data-integration/9.3-data-integration/advanced-topics-pentaho-data-integration-overview/work-with-the-streamlined-data-refinery/install-and-configure-the-streamlined-data-refinery/install-the-vertica-jdbc-driver.md) at this point.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pdia-data-integration/9.3-data-integration/advanced-topics-pentaho-data-integration-overview/work-with-the-streamlined-data-refinery/install-and-configure-the-streamlined-data-refinery/installing-and-configuring-the-sdr-sample/install-pentaho-software.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
