Kusai OLAP

This project is Kusai, a fork of the Saiku OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) application, distributed and maintained by Tahopen. It includes updated features and improvements for modern analytical needs.

1. Installing the Pentaho Plugin

Before installing the plugin, ensure your Pentaho server has properly configured datasources, as Kusai relies on these to read and display the OLAP schemas.

2. Stop Pentaho Server:

   /opt/pentaho/pentaho-server/stop-pentaho.sh
