How to run Pentaho console on linux from localhost:port/pentaho? - pentaho

I am trying to use pentaho which I downloaded from sourceforge (pentaho files). I run the schema-workbench shell correctly and a window opens with the interface, but I still haven't been able to connect to the admin console on http://localhost:8080/pentaho.
Any ideas on which this doesn't seem to work for me?
Best regards

You have a start-pentaho.sh which launches (after a long the first time) the pentaho server on port 8080.
That is, if you have downloaded the correct package, because Pentaho contains many packages: one is the server, another one is the client-tools which contains the schema-workbench as well as the pdi (Pentaho Data Integrator), and the prd (Pentaho Report Designer) as well as few others.

You are running the wrong file. To open the pentaho console, you need to download the PNTAHO SERVER and run 'start-pentaho.sh'

Pentaho by default will start PuC Pentaho USer Console on http://localhost:8080/pentaho once server is up and running. For getting the data integration i.e Spoon interface go to
For Windows : Pentaho install directory>> design-tools>> data-integration>>spoon.bat
For Linux/Mac:Pentaho install directory>> design-tools>> data-integration>>spoon.sh
I hope this helps.

Pentaho database connection test button not working

Whenever I try to make a database connection in transaction Pentaho, be it oracle or postgreSQL, although everything is correct in the last part, the test button does not show anything instead of saying the connection is complete. The necessary JDBC files are installed, can you help me?
enter image description here
I tried all the JDBC files, and I even prepared the file path for JDBCs, but nothing changed.
The test button doesn't work because you should download pentaho from https://www.hitachivantara.com/en-us/products/dataops-software/data-integration-analytics/pentaho-community-edition.html. Don't downloaded it from sourceforge, if you downloaded from here try the 8.3 version.
Tip:If the marketplace doesn't appear install pentaho 8.3 version.

Deployment from within IntelliJ IDEA

Deployments from IDEA are possible, e.g. I can connect to remote server and I can upload a package. The deployment process I have involves a little bit more than just deploying a file on server.
Once the file is uploaded I need to run certain commands to complete the deployment which mean I need to connect to the server and run those commands one by one and I am looking to do that through one click from the IntelliJ IDEA.
Is that possible?
This is how the project directory looks like:
This is how I am trying to setup deployment:
if you click on that little "Fix" button that's what I see
Even if I try to remove the unwanted entries they come back and never go away.
Finally this is what my project structure looks like in idea
Yes, you can use Remote SSH External tools. Make a script that will run your commands, deploy it to the server as well, then run this script remotely via a tool.
In the Run/Debug configuration Before Launch steps you can add your remote external tool to run automatically.
You can find some more details in my another answer.

Pentaho/Pivot4j - Failed to retrieve cube list

I'm doing a course from Coursera of Data Warehouse and I'm facing some problems with Pivot4j plugin.
There is a word document explaining how to install Pentaho. I've followed all the instructions, some of them are:
Install Java Runtime Environment (JRE7)
Download Pentaho BI Plugin stable release 0.9 (pivot4j-pentaho-0.9-plugin.zip).
I've started the web interface for the Pentaho BI server in my browser and navigate to the address http://localhost:8080/ after that I logged as administrator and everything was working properly. I clicked on Create new > Pivot4j View and a new screen appeared to me select the catalog and the cube. However when I select any catalog option the system return an error as showed in the image below:
I really appreciate any help.

Need help to select correct install file and options for BA\PDI

We want to upgrade our Pentaho suite from 4.1 to 5.0 version. Currently we use Analyzer for ad hoc reporting (which is installed on linux box) and Kettle (which is on windows).Plus this time we want to install repository also so that our kettle jobs are shared centrally.
With this requirement I believe I need to install both BA and DI components, since Analyzer comes under BA. But I can see that BA and DI have separate repository.
Can someone help me explaining which install files I should run and what options should I pick ?. I have 3 files pdi-ee-5.0.2-dist.zip, pdi-ee-client-5.0.1-dist.zip and pdi-ee-server-5.0.2-dist.zip
I would also appreciate if someone can provide me with correct link or video to help me with the install\configuration.Right now I am referring to http://infocenter.pentaho.com/help/index.jsp
You don't have to install anything, you just have to unzip the files and have to run appropriate batch file on windows and .sh file in linux.
For pentaho Data integration you have to run "spoon.bat" on windows and "spoon.sh" on linux
For pentaho BA Server you have to run you have to reach down to biserver-ce foler (i am using community addition) for you it may be like biserver-ee and under that you have to run "start-pentaho.bat" in windows and "start-pentaho.sh" in linux.
