Downloading and installing Oracle ADF Runtime

After you install WebLogic Server, install ADF Runtime 11.1.1.6, which contains the JRF needed by the Provisioning Service.

This topic assumes that you have installed Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.6.

You will need an Oracle account to download the Application Development Framework installer.

Important: The installation instructions in this topic are a distillation of the complete instructions in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Application Developer. The complete instructions provide detailed information about installing the software, such as system requirements. The complete instructions are available online at: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e14827/toc.htm

Note: Before installing Oracle ADF Runtime on Linux, ensure you:

Do not run the installation program as the root user.
Have an X-Windows (X11) environment. The installer requires that your monitor must be configured to display at least 256 colors.

Important: Before installing Oracle ADF Runtime on Windows, ensure that the path to the location where you have installed the Java JDK is C:\Java, or another path that does not include spaces. If you install the Java JDK to the default location (C:\Program Files), installation of Oracle ADF Runtime will fail.

To install Oracle ADF Runtime:

Download the ADF package:
1. Go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/downloads/index.html.
  The following graphic illustrates the location of the Application Development Runtime download link:
2. Click the Accept License Agreement radio button at the top of the page.

<jre_location> is the full path to the location of the Sun Java 6 JRE (Java Runtime Environment) that you installed. The JRE is located in the JDK installation directory.

For example:
```
setup.exe -jreLoc c:\Java\jdk1.6.0_43
```
