Back to basics: Step by step Pentaho + Ctools installation

Let's get back to the basics. This entry is a step by step tutorial on how to install http://www.pentaho.com/, the Ctools and Saiku.

Pentaho:
  • Download Pentaho Server from sourceforge. Choose zip or tar.gz according to preferences
  • Create a folder "pentahoServer" and decompress the downloaded package
    inside it 
Ctools and Saiku:
  • Download CTools installer
  • Run 'ctools-installer.sh. It will display the usage, but you'll probably want to do something like: ./ctools-installer.sh -s pentahoServer/biserver-ce/pentaho-solutions -w pentahoServer/biserver-ce/tomcat/webapps/pentaho
  • Choose the packages you want to install. Try them all for some kick ass software ;)
Start it:
  • Run 'start-pentaho.sh', under biserver-ce. Pentaho's up and running
  • Go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/pentaho (or whatever server you installed it in) and login with almighty joe/password
  • Have fun!

Note: Ctools-installer is a bash script that work on *nix/mac out of the box. This tutorial teaches you how to run it on windows through cygwin

    I noticed that you linked to pentaho bi server 3.10 although the README file that comes with the ctools installer says it works with bi server 3.6 to 3.8. I'd like to use the latest (3.10.0), but do the ctools run without major issues under this version?
