Installing WebLogic Server

Caution:

Prior to installing WebLogic Server, ensure an appropriate JDK is installed. For details, refer to the preceding section entitled: Installing a JDK for WebLogic Server.

This procedure assumes you followed the instructions in the previous section of this chapter for obtaining the WebLogic installer and that you extracted the download.

Note:

The following installation screen shots are captured during installation of WebLogic Server 12.1.3. In case of WebLogic Server 12.2.1 installation, the screens will be similar with different WebLogic Server version.

To install WebLogic Server on the Development Client:

  1. Open a command prompt window with Run as Administrator.

  2. Run this command in the command prompt window to change directory:

    cd <Java_installation_dir>\bin

    where <Java_installation_dir> is the directory where you installed the JDK.

    For example:

    For more details on supported versions of the JDK, refer to the section of this chapter entitled: Installing a JDK for WebLogic Server.

  3. Run this command in the command prompt window to launch the WebLogic Server installer:

    For WebLogic Server 12.1.3:

    java -jar <path_to_wls_file>\fmw_12.1.3.0.0_wls.jar

    For WebLogic Server 12.2.1:

    java -jar <path_to_wls_file>\fmw_12.2.1.0.0_wls.jar

    For WebLogic Server 14.1.1:

    Note:

    You can choose any install location; however, using a location that contains "space" characters in the path may cause problems.
