title: Cognos Installation
body: <p>I want to install Cognos BI 8.3 on my laptop. 
  I already have the software zipfile as a whole. Only remaining things are like downloading a server (like Tomcat?), a database (and manager like Oracle DBMS 10G Express), and connecting these all to have my Cognos function.
  Basically, my aims are to access Cognos Connection portal, Report Studio, Query Studio, Event Studio, Administration, and the Framework Manager. I will be downloading raw data from various free data distribution sites, model them for mock purposes, and create reports and run them.</p>
  
  <p>Would you guide me how to go through these processes and get these up and running?</p>
