Installing Designer on UNIX/Linux

You can install Designer on a UNIX or Linux system either by using the Installation Wizard or in silent mode. Silent installation frees you from participation in the installation process.

To install Designer on UNIX/Linux using the Installation Wizard:

  1. Download the Designer installation file for UNIX/Linux from the Logi Report download center.
  2. Select the installation file to launch the Installation Wizard. Alternatively, you can open a console window and run the following commands:

    To change the directory to the location of the installation file:

    $ cd thepath

    To make the installation file executable:

    $ chmod +x designer-xxx-linux.bin (change designer-xxx-linux.bin to the real file name of the installation file)

    To run the installation file:

    $ ./designer-xxx-linux.bin (change designer-xxx-linux.bin to the real file name of the installation file)

  3. Once you have loaded the Logi Report Designer Installation Wizard , you can then follow the standard prompts to install Designer.

To install Designer on UNIX/Linux silently:

  1. Download the Designer installation file for UNIX/Linux from the Logi Report download center.
  2. Get the file DesignerInstall.properties used for silent Designer installation from Logi Analytics Support at support@logianalytics.com.
  3. Put DesignerInstall.properties to the directory where you save the Designer installation file.
  4. Edit DesignerInstall.properties to suit your requirements.
  5. Open a console window and change the directory to the location of the installation file.

    $ cd thepath

  6. Run the following command to make the installation file executable:

    $ chmod +x designer-xxx-linux.bin (Change designer-xxx-linux.bin to the real file name of the installation file.)

  7. Run the following command to install Designer in the designated path:

    $ ./designer-xxx-linux.bin LAX_VM "USER_JAVA_HOME/bin/java" -i silent -f DesignerInstall.properties (Change designer-xxx-linux.bin to the real file name of the installation file.)

Note icon When installing Designer silently, make sure you do not use overwrite installation, instead, install it to a new directory.
