In Windows, the installer is an executable file that you can double-click to run. The installer under Windows will need a user account with Administrative privileges. The installer should also be started and run with “Run as administrator”. For example, right click on the binary installer file to bring up the context menu. Choose “Run as administrator”:

jasperreports-server-cp-6.0-windows-x64-installer.exe     (64 bit only)

In Linux, the installer is a .run file; you can run it from the command line or from a graphical environment. To start the installer from the command line, open a bash shell, and enter the name of the installer file. For example:

./jasperreports-server-cp-6.0-linux-x86-installer.run     (32 bit)

./jasperreports-server-cp-6.0-linux-x64-installer.run     (64 bit)

In Mac OSX, the installer is a .zip file. Typically, after download, the installer will be found in your <user>/Downloads folder, and it will already be unpacked. After the download is complete, double-click the following:

jasperreports-server-cp-6.0-osx-x64-installer.app          (64 bit only)

Whether you run the installer from the command line or in a graphical environment, you are prompted for the same information. The following sections describe these prompts, and assume you are in a graphical environment. If you are installing from the command line, use your keyboard to specify the same details. For example, with the license text, instead of clicking I accept the agreement, you press Y and press Enter.

The welcome screen introduces the installer and allows you to continue or exit. Click Next.
