Install and configure a local Postgres database on Windows with Pgadmin, set the administrator password and port 5432, then create a DW database and connect to the data warehouse.
Create star schema dimensions in pentaho using spoon, including orders, products, customers, and a date dimension, and configure keys, versions, and sql for updates.
Test your cube with an MDX query in Mondrian, then publish it to the Pentaho BI server and verify the analysis data source on localhost.
