Installation¶
Install AcuGIS Report Studio on your workstation so you can design and preview reports.
Goal¶
Install Report Studio and confirm it launches successfully.
Prerequisites¶
- A supported desktop operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux)
- Administrator rights if your organization requires them to install software
- On Windows: Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime
- Java Development Kit (JDK) 17 or later for report preview, compile, and DuckDB JDBC
Note
Preview and Compile use JasperReports. Your administrator may provide a bundled runtime.
If preview fails with a Java-related message, confirm JAVA_HOME points to a valid JDK.

- Run the installer and follow the on-screen prompts.

Tips¶
Tip
Keep Report Studio updated through your organization’s software channel so map renderers and database drivers stay compatible with AcuGIS Report Server.
Warning
Do not install from source or developer build tools unless your administrator instructs you to do so. End users should use the packaged installer.
