Install WebLogic in Linux Environment

We first create a user, for example, oracle. To create a user run the following commands under the root user:

    useradd oracle
    passwd oracle

This creates a /home/oracle directory. To delete the user we can use: userdel -r oracle the option -r removes the /home/oracle directory.

The following software versions will be used:

• JRockit JVM – jrrt-4.0.1-1.6.0-linux-x64 
• WebLogic Server – wls1035_generic

First, we choose an installation directory, for example /home/oracle/weblogic. This will be our middleware home in the installation of WebLogic.

To install JRockit we follow these steps:

• Run the file jrrt-4.0.1-1.6.0-linux-x64.bin. 
• Click Next on the welcome screen. 
• Define the install directory /home/oracle/weblogic/jrrt-4.0.1-1.6.0 and click Next. 
• Optionally select extra components and click Next. 
• When the installation is finished click Done.

To install WebLogic we follow these steps:

• Navigate to the JDK’s bin directory (/home/oracle/weblogic/jrrt-4.0.1-1.6.0/bin). 
• Enter the following command: ./java -d64 -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -jar wls1031_generic.jar. 
• Click Next on the welcome screen. 
• Define the Middleware-Home directory which was used to install the JDK and click Next. Click Yes in the pop-up. 
• Fill in support credentials if applicable and click Next. 
• Select Custom as installation type and click Next. 
• De-select the evaluation database and click Next. 
• Select the installed JDK (if the JDK is not shown, click Browse and browse to the root of the JDK) and click Next. 
• Accept the defaults in the directories screen and click Next. 
• Click Next to start the installation. 
• De-select Run Quickstart and click Done.
