Please see the JasperServer Professional Installation Guide for the steps to install the WAR File Distribution for specific environment combinations.

Understanding the Installation Process

Jaspersoft has created a series of scripts to assist in the automation of installation and configuration of the WAR file and installation into the Application Server as well as the creation and initial population of the JasperServer repository. The installation consists primarily of the following steps:

1. Unpack the WAR file Distribution Zip file. Keep the root path short, extract all files from the WAR Distribution Zip File Into a separate folder.
2. Configuration of environment properties for use by the configuration and installation scripts
   1. DB Information
   2. Application Server Information
3. Create Repository Database
4. Initialize the Database objects
5. Import initial repository information (default users, etc.)
6. Deploy Web Application
7. Install the License File
8. Start the Server
