Step 3: Install the design tools
To install design tool files that you unpacked in Step 2: Unpack the files, you must create a directory for each design tool and then move the design tool files into that directory.
Complete the following steps to move the design tool files into the appropriate directories.
Create a directory for installing the design tools that has permissions to read, write, and execute commands.
For example, you can create the
Pentaho/design-tools
directory.Note: For publishing reports, models, and schemas created with the design tools, it is a best practice to install the design tools in a directory on a workstation or server that is on the same network as the Pentaho Server.
In the
design-tools
directory, create a directory for each design tool, as shown in the following table.The following table lists the design tools and the file path for each design tool directory.

file into the directory.
