Pentaho BI Platform: Best Getting Started Guide?

Question

I'm looking at Pentaho BI Platform to extract information from Mantis, but I don't find any tutorial to setup a full working environment (without preloaded data).

Do you know any tutorial? Maybe another way to develop reports from Mantis data?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Thanks Prakash, it's a good way to integrate with Mantis, but it isn't a good alternative to Pentaho BI.

But it isn't all darkness for me :) I found JasperForge, JasperReport and JasperServer's home. It have better documentation, similar features and easier administration.

Also dont forget to visit the pentaho wiki, lots of info there. There's also an IRC channel on freenode as well.
