Pentaho BI Suite Installation on Linux

Download pentaho-bi-suite-4.1.0-GA-i386.bin
create pentaho user and add it to sudo
sudo useradd -s /bin/bash -m pentaho 

login as pentaho user

chmod u+x  pentaho-bi-suite-4.1.0-GA-i386.bin

./pentaho-bi-suite-4.1.0-GA-i386.bin

In the wizard select custom option and select a path where you want pentaho to be installed and it will install all pre-reqs. I installed JDK, Tomcat and MySQL already. But it appears everything comes with the install and could be used unless you are on production.

sample users created are:
admin/welcome1(for http://localhost:8088)
joe/password (administrator)
suzy/password (system user)
