This page will explain how to download and install jSunnyreports. This page assumes you have basic computer skills like creating directories, downloading files and unzip a file.

Create installation directory

jSunnyreports does not have an installation program. It is just a zip file containing all the necessary files to work with. To make the installation easier lets create its final directory before the download of the zip file itself.

Create a directory for jSunnyreports, for instance:

• On windows: c:\tools\jsunnyreports
• on linux ~\jsunnyreports ( in your home directory )

In this wiki installation I assume everything is installed in c:/tools/jsunnyreports.

Important note: Do not unpack jSunnyreports into a protected directory like “program files” or “program files (x86)”. jSunnyreports won’t be able to work properly from these directories!

Download

Download the latest version from this page. And save the zip file to the location you created in the step before.

Unzip

Unzip the zip file in the same directory. You will end up with a directory that looks similar:
