Using Console Mode to Install WebLogic Collaborate

The text-based, console-mode program mimics the graphical installation program. For details about the information you must provide, review the steps described in Installing WebLogic Collaborate.

Warning: If you are migrating from a previous version of WebLogic Collaborate, review Migrating BEA WebLogic Collaborate to Release 2.0 before proceeding with the installation. To migrate repository data from a previous release, you must perform several steps using the previous release. Do not install this release until you have performed those steps. See Migrating the Repository in Migrating BEA WebLogic Collaborate to Release 2.0.

To install WebLogic Collaborate on a UNIX system:

1. Insert the WebLogic Integration CD in the CD tray.

   Note: If the daemon /usr/sbin/vold is running, the CD should be mounted in the /cdrom directory. If vold is not running, see the instructions for mounting a CD in your UNIX administration documentation.

2. Go to the CD mount point and enter the following to go to the wlintegration2.0/unix/collaborate directory on the CD:

   cd wlintegration2.0/unix/collaborate

3. Start the installation by entering the following command at the prompt:

   sh install.bin -i console
