Running the Installation Program in Console Mode

The following sections describe how to run the installation program in console mode:

 

Running Console-Mode Installation

Start the installation program in console mode as described in Starting the Installation Program.

To complete the console-mode installation process, respond to the prompts in each section by entering the number associated with your choice or by pressing Enter to accept the default. To exit the installation process, enter exit (or x, for short) in response to any prompt. To review or change your selection, enter previous (or p, for short) at the prompt. To proceed to the following window, enter next (or n, for short).

Note: In the sample console text and directory pathnames provided in this section, Windows conventions (such as backslashes in pathnames) are used, for example, C:\bea\realtime20. When entering pathnames on a Unix system, be sure to use UNIX conventions, instead. For example, use forward slashes in pathnames, such as /home/bea/realtime20.

The following procedure steps you through the installation program. Use this procedure after you have started the installation program in console mode, as described in Starting the Installation Program.

  1. At the Welcome prompt, type next (or n for short) or press Enter to continue with the installation process.

    2. The BEA Systems License Agreement prompt is displayed.

  2. Read the Agreement and indicate your acceptance or rejection of its terms by doing one of the following at the prompt:
    • Type 1 to indicate your agreement with the terms of the license and proceed with the installation. To review the entire agreement, press Enter or type Down several times. Type Up to scroll back through sections previously displayed.
    • Type 2 if you do not agree with the terms of the license. If you type 2, the installation process terminates.

      • The Choose BEA Home directory prompt is displayed.

  3. Specify the BEA Home directory that will serve as the central support directory for all WebLogic Real Time software installed on the target system. For details about the BEA Home directory, see Choosing a BEA Home Directory.

    4. One of the following is displayed on your system:

    • If you have existing BEA Home directories on your system, a list of the directories is displayed, as shown in the following example:

      • Choose BEA Home Directory:
      --------------------------

      ->1¦* Create a new BEA Home
      2¦C:\bea
      3¦C:\bea_prod
      4¦C:\bea_qa

      Enter index number to select OR [Exit][Previous][Next]>

      To use an existing BEA Home directory, type the number associated with the desired BEA Home directory.

      To create a new BEA Home directory, type 1 or press Enter.

    • If there are no BEA Home directories on your system, or you have selected to create a new BEA Home, the installation program displays the following prompt:

      • Choose BEA Home Directory:
      --------------------------

      "BEA Home" = [Use default "C:\bea

      Input BEA Home OR [Exit][Previous][Next]>

      Do one of the following:

    • To use the default BEA Home directory, type next (or n for short), or press Enter.
    • To create a new BEA Home directory, enter the full path of the BEA Home directory, for example C:\beahome2. If you specify a directory that does not exist, the installation program creates it for you.

      • The installation program displays the BEA Home directory you have specified, as shown in the following example:

      Choose BEA Home Directory:
      --------------------------

      "BEA Home" = [C:\beahome2]

      Select Option:
      1 - Input BEA Home
      2 - Use default [C:\bea]


      Enter option number to select OR [Exit][Previous][Next]>

      On the command line, press Enter to accept your selection. Otherwise, type 1 or 2 to return to the Choose BEA Home Directory panel, where you can modify your entry.

      After you have selected your BEA Home directory and confirmed your selection, type Next or press Enter. One of the following occurs:

    • If you are adding components to an existing installation, the Choose Components to install panel is displayed. Go to step 5.
    • If you are performing an initial installation, the Choose Install Type prompt is displayed.
  4. Specify the directory in which you want to install the software. You can accept the default product directory (bea_home\realtime20) or create a new product directory.
    5. Note: If you are adding components to an existing installation, you are prompted to confirm the product installation directory.

    If you specify a new directory, the installation program automatically creates it for you.

    The following example shows the choices displayed in this section: 

    Choose Product Directory:
    -------------------------
    Product Installation Directory= [Use default C:\beahome2\realtime20]
      
    Input Product Installation Directory OR [Exit][Previous][Next]>

    Do one of the following:

    • Press Enter or type next (or n for short) to accept the current selection.
    • Enter the full path to the directory in which you want to install the software, and press Enter.

      • You are prompted to confirm your selection as shown in the following text: 

      Choose Product Directory:
      -------------------------
         ->1| Yes, use this product directory [C:\beahome2\realtime20]
           2| No, select another product directory
       
      Enter index number to select OR [Exit][Previous][Next]>

      Verify that your entry is correct, then type 1 or press Enter to proceed with the installation. Otherwise, type 2 to return to the Choose Product Directory panel, where you can modify your entry.

  5. Specify the folder in which you want to create the Start menu shortcuts. Select the All Users folder or the local user's folder, as shown in the following sample text:
    6. Choose Shortcut Location:
    ------------------------- 
    *The installer creates shortcuts to BEA components, samples, and tools.
    *As a user with administrative privileges, you can specify where these
    *shortcuts are created.
     
     ->1¦"All Users" Start menu folder> (recommended)
        ¦If a user without administrative privileges uses the BEA
        ¦Configuration Wizard in this installation to create domains, the user
        ¦may have to create Start menu shortcuts manually. Refer to the 
        ¦documentation for more information.
     
       2¦Local user's Start Menu folder
        ¦Select this option if you need to ensure that other profiles
        ¦registered on this machine will not have access to these shortcuts.

    Enter index number to select OR [Exit][Previous][Next]>

    Do one of the following:

    • Type 1 or press Enter to create Start menu shortcuts in the All Users folder. This provides all users registered on the machine with access to the installed software. However, only users with Administrator privileges can create shortcuts in the All Users folder. Therefore, if a user without Administrator privileges uses the Configuration Wizard to create domains, Start menu shortcuts to the domains are not created. In this case, users can manually create shortcuts in their local Start menu folders, if desired.
    • Type 2 to create shortcuts in your local user's Start menu folder. If you do so, other users registered on this machine will not have access to the Start menu entries for this installation.

      • You are prompted to confirm your selection, as shown in the following text: 

      Choose Shortcut Location:
      -------------------------
      *The installer creates shortcuts to BEA components, samples, and tools.
      *As a user with administrative privileges, you can specify where these
      *shortcuts are created.
       
       ->1¦"All Users" Start menu folder> (recommended)
          ¦If a user without administrative privileges uses the BEA
          ¦Configuration Wizard in this installation to create domains, the 
          ¦user may have to create Start menu shortcuts manually. Refer to 
          ¦the documentation for more information.

         2¦Go back to the previous screen and make another choice.

      Enter index number to select OR [Exit][Previous][Next]>

      Verify that your entry is correct, then type 1 or press Enter to proceed with the installation. Otherwise, type 2 to return to the previous panel, where you can modify your entry.

  6. Verify that your installation details are correct, then type next (or n, for short) or press Enter to proceed with the installation. Otherwise, type previous (or p, for short) to return to the previous panel, where you can modify your installation choices.

    7. Review Installation Details:
    ----------------------------

    * BEA Home: C:\beahome2
    * Product Directory: C:\beahome2\realtime20
    * WebLogic Home c:\beahome2\weblogic100
    * Installation Component List:
    - Real Time
    - Real Time Template

    Note: The "Real Time Template" is only installed when WebLogic Real Time is installed as an add-on component to an existing WebLogic Server installation in the selected BEA Home directory, as indicated in this sample by the WebLogic Home directory.

    After you have verified your selection, the installation program begins copying the components you specified to your system.

    When the installation is complete, the Installation Complete panel is displayed.

  7. Press Enter or type Exit to exit the installation program.
