1、安装Java环境
下载并安装JDK，http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
一路默认即可。
2、配置环境变量
增加Windows系统变量
KETTLE_HOME D:\pdi-ce-4.1.0-stable\data-integration
PENTAHO_JAVA_HOME C:\Program Files \Java\jdk1.6.0_10
3.测试Java环境
cmd命令行下输入Java –version,能正常显示版本号即为正确。
4、登录ETL工具Kettle
打开kettle管理器 D:\pdi-ce-4.1.0-stable\data-integration\Spoon.bat
默认用户名和密码都是admin，如果打开后窗口一闪没了，可以在bat文件中添加pause命名，进行调试。

1、linux下

./spoon.sh: line 143: 3379 Aborted "$_PENTAHO_JAVA" $OPT $STARTUP -lib $LIBPATH "${1+$@}"
Fix was simple : turn off the welcome screen.
Steps:
- Open up (or create a new one if doesnt exist) ~/.kettle/.spoonrc
- Add (or Edit to set it to 'N') following line to the file
ShowWelcomePageOnStartup=N
