CTools installer - Making things *fast*


Jos Van Dongen kept insisting that there should be an easier way to install the CTools. We work on a very fast pace, and the words "upgrade CDF|CDE|CDA|CCC" happen far to frequently.


And he's right. So I built a script that allows to install and upgrade all the plugins. Without further delay, you can get it here:


https://github.com/pmalves/ctools-installer


ctools-installer.sh is a shell script to install / update the different ctools into a pentaho installation. Currently supports CDF, CDA and CDE and pentaho 3.6 to 3.8

Requirements: Linux, macintosh or windows with cygwin, wget, unzip, diff (if you're administrating any server and don't have this, you don't deserve ctools anyway ;) )

Usage: ctools-installer.sh

Please backup your solution, we're not resposible by any harm this does to your server. Also note that if you have a changes in the plugin directories (eg: cdf templates) you'll need to back them up.

Thanks Analytical Labs for hosting the continuous integration

UPDATE: Yogaraj Khanal made a blog post with detailed instructions of how to use the installer in windows. Check it here, and thank you!

  5. I used the script to install CDE for pentaho 3.9 and it apparently works with a little CDE icon on the top bar, but I cant't se any Saiku icon.
    Let me know if there is a way to make it work with 3.9 version or if I have to downgrade.

  11. Olá pessoal.

    Eu fiz uma alteração em /tomcat/webapps/pentaho para /tomcat/webapps/outro. Também fiz a alteração em WEB-INF/web.xml de "localhost:8080/pentaho/" para "localhost:8080/outro/".

    Problema: Sumiu alguns botões no CDE! Botões de "delete", "move down", "move up" ... e outros.

    Alguém por gentileza pode me ajudar?

    Obrigado
    Eder
