In the Windows Application Launcher look for the System Variables Editor functionality. | |
On the bottom of the window, look for “Environment Variables” | |
In the “Environment Variables”, add a new entry:

Click on the “Accept” button. | |

When you enter the download link, the file will automatically start the downloading | |
We locate the downloaded zip file | |
We unzip the zip file | |
We enter the path where the decompressed file will be saved | |

| |
On the local disk we create the C:\mifos\pentahoReports folder. | |
Go to the FineractPentahoPlugin-1.10.0\MariaDB\pentahoReports folder that was unzipped and Select all the content and copy the files and folders. | |
Go back to the “C:\mifos\pentahoReports” folder and paste the files that were selected in the previous step. | |
Go to the FineractPentahoPlugin-1.10.0\MariaDB\libs folder that you have unzipped, select all the files and copy them. | |
Paste the files into the libraries of the Apache Fineract application which is located at “$APACHE_TOMCAT\webapps\\fineract-provider\WEB-INF\libs”. | |

Before restarting the service we suggest increase the JVM memory pool used for Apache Tomcat:
Settings are
Initial memory pool: 1024
Maximum memory pool: 1024 | |
Restart the Apache Tomcat service. Click stop and then start to start the service.
Wait a few minutes because the Apache Fineract deployment process will take a few minutes to complete. | |
