This article will show step by step how to install Cognos 8 BI component in a Linux
environment .
For this How-to we did use Opensuse 11.
1. If you are installing to a directory with other Cognos 8

components, stop the Cognos 8 service.
2. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the

installation location of your Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
Cognos 8 requires Sun Java to run on Linux.
3. Mount the CD for your Cognos product using

Rock Ridge file extensions.
4. Go to the directory on the CD that is appropiate

the default location but you can

change it to fit your needs.
If you are installing Cognos

8 on a computer that already
has ReportNet, and you
want to keep ReportNet
running, you must install
Cognos 8 into a different
directory.

prompted for the location of
a directory in which to store
backup copies of the files
that will be overwritten.
