The latest Aperte Reports release is available for downloading in the Downloads section. File aperte-reports-ui-*.war containins all the application portlets deployable on Liferay Portal.

After the environment package is unzipped simply start Tomcat with startup.sh or startup.bat script in tomcat-6.0.29/bin directory, depending on platform. The Liferay Portal auto-deploys on first run along with its resources. Once server is running, one can deploy the UI war (described in Download Release section), copying the file to the directory:

Aperte Reports will then register its portlets in an active Liferay Portal instance.
