Install the SDR sample

Install the SDR sample to use as an example or for testing purposes. The SDR sample was developed by Pentaho, based on CTools.

If you are evaluating Pentaho software, we recommend using the graphical installation method for a quick set-up. If you already have Pentaho software installed, you can skip right to the section for downloading and installing the sample.

These steps will get the sample installed and running.

1. Download the sample SDR.zip and save it to your desktop.

2. Extract the contents of the SDR.zip file to this directory: pentaho/server/pentaho-server/pentaho-solutions/system.

   It should create an SDR folder in the directory.

3. If you are using the default evaluation method, start the Pentaho Server and log into PUC.

4. Go to Tools at the top of PUC and verify that Movie Ratings-SDR Sample appears in the drop-down menu.

If you are evaluating Pentaho and used the default installation instructions, you are ready to get started experimenting with the sample form. If you are doing anything else, follow the appropriate instructions in the Administration section before continuing with the sample form.
