First off I have Pentaho EE version 5.0.3 and I am trying to install C-Tools. I have looked up tutorials online on how to do it and they are all the same which I follow;
When I run the command;
sh ctools-installer.sh -s "C:\Program Files\pentahoBA\server\biserver-ee\pentaho-solutions" -w "C:\Program Files\pentahoBA\server\biserver-ee\tomcat\webapps\pentaho"
I get the following response;
cygwin warning:
MS-DOS style path detected: C:\Program Files\pentahoBA\server\biserver-ee\pentaho-solutions
Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/Program Files/pentahoBA/server/biserver-ee/pentaho-solutions
CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.
Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:

ERROR: Missing required 'zip' command.
So I try running the command;
sh ctools-installer.sh -s /cygdrive/c/Program Files/pentahoBA/server/biserver-ee/pentaho-solutions/ -w /cygdrive/c/Program Files/pentahoBA/server/biserver-ee/tomcat/webapps/pentaho/
every tutorial uses ./ctools-installer.sh
but I am using Windows and when I try that command it does not work so i simply use sh
In the command I have provided the paths to pentaho-solutions and tomcat directories. However after running this command I get the following;
ERROR: Supplied solution path is not a directory
As You can see I get this ERROR
message at the bottom, saying the supplied solution path is not a directory, when it is a directory
Anyone have any idea where I could be going wrong?
Ive not yet used ctools installer on pentaho5 but believe someone did make it work.
Add set -x To the top of the script and run again.
But much better solution especially on windoze is just to install from the marketplace which should already be installed! (Easy plugin download if not)
Ahh you are ee so it won't be installed.. so add it in. Marketplace is not promoted in ee weirdly
