Set environment variables

If you do not set the HOME environment variables, Pentaho does not start correctly. Complete the steps in this topic to ensure that you have set the HOME environment variables properly.

1. Set the path of the PENTAHO_JAVA_HOME variable to the path of your Java installation, as shown:

   SET PENTAHO_JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk11.x.x.x

2. (Optional) If you are using a JRE, then also set the JRE_HOME home environment variable.

3. Log off and log on again, then verify the variables have been properly set by using a command similar to the following example:

   ECHO %PENTAHO_JAVA_HOME%
