How to extract the contents of the iHub distribution package
To extract the iHub run-time resources and configure the setup script, perform the following tasks:
1 Create a new folder in a location outside of C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86), such as C:\Actuate.
2 Using WinZip or another file extraction tool, extract the contents of ActuateBIRTiHub.zip to the folder created in the previous step, as shown in
Figure 6‑1.

3 In the iHub configuration, the setting for the environment variable, AC_SERVER_HOME, specifies the location of the iHub program files. The variable, AC_JAVA_HOME, specifies the location of the Java Development Kit (JDK.)
The setupiHub.bat script automatically detects the location of AC_SERVER_HOME and AC_JAVA_HOME. If the script is unable to locate these resources in the environment, the script provides an error message. In this case, you can edit the script to set the values for these properties manually.
To specify the location of AC_SERVER_HOME and AC_JAVA_HOME in the setupiHub.bat script, perform the following tasks:
1 Using a text editor, open the script, setupiHub.bat, located in the folder where you extracted BIRT iHub.
2 Specify the paths to AC_SERVER_HOME and AC_JAVA_HOME, as shown in
Listing 6‑1.
3 Save and close the file.
