Before installing Oracle JDeveloper, you must install the required software for the Offline Client for Life Sciences. For more information, see Installing the Required Software for the Configuration Environment.

To install Oracle JDeveloper

1. Download Oracle JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.3.0) from the following OTN location:

2. Double-click the jdevstudio11113install.exe file and on the installer Welcome screen, click Next to begin the installation.
3. Choose a Middleware Home directory.

   You can create a new Middleware Home directory, or select one from a list of existing Middleware Home directories. If you choose to create a new Middleware Home directory, the default provided is C:\Oracle\Middleware\ for Windows, and $HOME/Oracle/Middleware for Linux and UNIX platforms.

4. Choose an installation type.

   Selecting Custom takes you to the Choose Products and Components screen, where you can select the components you want to install.

5. Choose the products and components (this applies to custom installations only).

   Select the components that you want to install. The Offline Client for Life Sciences does not require the Oracle WebLogic Server.

6. Select the JDK location.

   If required, select the location of your JDK by navigating to the JDK directory that contains the child folder bin, which in turn contains java.exe. For example, select C:\JDK\jdk1.6.0_11 if the path to java.exe is C:\JDK\jdk1.6.0_11\bin\jave.exe.

7. Confirm the product installation directories.

   Review the location where the components will be installed. To make changes, click Back and navigate to the required screen. Click Next to continue with the installation.
