Before you begin

The installation and licensing of Genero products requires you to read and accept the End User License Agreement, which can be found on the Four Js website at https://4js.com/end-user-license-agreements/.

Ensure Genero Studio for Report Writer is supported for your operating system, and that you have downloaded the correct package for your operating system.

Java installation

A Java installation is required.

If Java is not on your Windows system, you will be prompted to install it as part of the installation.

If you want to design applications with Java, choose a JDK. If you choose a JRE, you can run existing Java applications, but you cannot design new ones. You can design C# and PHP applications with either a JRE or JDK.
