JasperReports Server installation prerequisites

Before you begin the installation of JasperReports Server, you need to keep in mind the following:

  • Know where your application server is installed, how to configure it, and how to deploy new Web applications. You need write permissions for various folders or locations in your application server deployment.
  • Make sure you have write permissions for the WorldServer configuration files.
  • Know the location and login credentials for the WorldServer database server.
  • You can find the JasperReports Server installation kit in the <distribution archive>\integrations\JasperSoft_6.3.0 folder, which is included in the WorldServer ZIP file (for Windows) and TAR file (for Linux).
  • Also, make sure the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME properties point to the same recommended prerequisites.
