  • Following the install wizard

  User ID and Install key are required during the process, just COPY and PASTE them from the mail you got from Jinfonet and make sure no extra characters are copied.
     
  In the destination window, you are to specify the directory where the JReport server is installed, usually we install it in /usr/jrserver.  But be careful, you have to have the WRITE permission of this directory before you can do this. If you don't have, choose another writable directory or refer to the administrator for help.

  When you see the Finish window, your installation is successful and it's now ready for you to run the server. To do so, use the following commands:
  
             $ cd /usr/jrserver/bin
            $ ./jrserver
