Pentaho C-Tools stable or trunk Manual Installation using ctools-installer.sh in Cent OS OR in any Linux server

Hi Guys,

If your network is bounded by proxy settings .. you can not able to connect to Pentaho Market place from the BI Server.
As an alternative you can download and install all the C-Tools using a simple command.

The procedure to install C-Tools manually is given below.

1) Click on below link to download the C-Tools installer https://github.com/pmalves/ctools-installer
2) At the bottom right corner you can find Download Zip file.
3) Once you download the zip file unzip it using unzip command.
   Eg : unzip ctools-installer-master.zip ( You will find ctools-installer-master folder once unzip done).
4) Now, Open your terminal to run the script file ( I always prefer to run the .sh files from command prompt)
5) From the terminal run the below command.

[a1551@localhost ctools-installer-master]$ 

sh ctools-installer.sh -s /home/a1551/softwares\ installed/Pentaho/biserver-ce/pentaho-solutions -w /home/a1551/softwares\ installed/Pentaho/biserver-ce/tomcat/webapps/pentaho -b stable -c marketplace,cdf,cda,cde,cgg,cfr,sparkl,cdc,cdb,cdv,saiku,saikuadhoc -y -n -r 

NOTE : Note that there should not be spaces b/w the folder name. If you have space add \ to the word.

For example in the above command : /softwares\ installed/  where softwares installed is the name of the folder.

Purpose of each one given in ReadMe.txt file.

Usage : ctools-installer.sh -s solutionPath [-w pentaho WebapPath] [-b branch]

-s   Solution Path (eg: /biserver/petnaho-solutions)

-w  Pentaho webapp server path(required for cgg on versions 

          before 4.5 eg:biserverce/tomcat/webapps/pentaho)

-b  Branch from where to get ctools,stable for release,dev for trunk. Default is stable

-c  Comma-separated list of CTools to install 

         (Supported module-name: marketplace,cdf,cda,cde,cgg,cfr,spark1,cdc,cdb,cdv,saiku,saikuadhoc)

-y  assume yest to all prompts

-n  Add newline to end of prompts(for integration with CBF)

-r  Directory for storing offline files

-h  This help screen. 

Once you done with the above command your installation will start with log saying

Disclaimer: we can't be responsible for any damage done to your system, which hopefully will not happen

Note: ctools-installer.sh will upgrade the plugins under system directory.

CGG will need to change the server WEB-INF/lib too. Backup your server
