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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
