In the left pane, click Advanced system settings.
Select the Advanced tab, then click Environment Variables…
In System Variables, scroll till you find Path.
Select Path, click Edit…
Add the Java bin folder to your path by appending;C:Program FilesJavajdk1.7.0_04bin to the end of the Path Variable Value.
Click OK.
Click New…
In Variable name, enter: PENTAHO_JAVA_HOME
In Variable value, enter: C:Program FilesJavajdk1.7.0_04
Click OK.
Click OK.
Click OK.
As the last step check that your path is set correctly.
Open Powershell.

Open a command prompt.
Type echo %PENTAHO_JAVA_HOME%
You should see the following as output: C:Program FilesJavajdk1.7.0_04
Now that we have Java installed we can get on with our main task of installing the Pentaho BI Server.
Download the Pentaho BI Server from http://wiki.pentaho.com/display/COM/Latest+Stable+Builds. I’m using the current stable build which is biserver-ce-4.5.0-stable.zip.
Open Windows Explorer and create new folder: C:Program FilesPentaho.
Unzip biserver-ce-4.5.0-stable.zip.
Next, copy the biserver-ce and administration-console folder into C:Program FilesPentaho.
Update the Permissions to allow the server to be run as a developer’s regular user (i.e. not Administrator)
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:Program Files.
Right-click the Pentaho folder, click Properties.
Select the Security tab, click Edit.
Click Add.
Enter the developer’s username, then click OK.
