Install the Oracle FS CLI Software

Before using the Oracle FS CLI software, you need to install the software on your local workstation.

Prerequisite: If the Oracle FS CLI software is installed on a local workstation that is outside a firewall surrounding the Oracle FS System, make sure that the TCP port 8083 in the firewall is open. If TCP port 8083 is not open, TCP/IP traffic is not allowed between the local workstation and the Pilot.

You need to download and extract platform‑specific Oracle FS CLI archive file (tar or ZIP) before you can install theOracle FS CLI software.

Important!

For optimal performance , install the Oracle FS CLI only on a local disk drive. Issuing commands from Oracle FS CLI on a remote, network‑mounted filesystem can cause significant performance issues.

On your local workstation, browse to the location where you want to install the Oracle FS CLI (for example on Windows, C:\ or C:\Program Files).
(Optional): You can create a subfolder for the Oracle FS CLI software.
Example: For Windows, to create the FSCLI subfolder, you can run the following command:
```
C:\ mkdir FSCLI
```
Download the Oracle FS CLI archive file (tar or ZIP) from Management Software > Oracle Command Line Interface on your Oracle FS System website (for example, http://oraclefssystem, where oraclefssystem is the name of your Oracle FS System).
Using a platform‑specific extraction tool, extract the downloaded Oracle FS CLI archive file into the created FSCLI folder you created on your local workstation.
(Optional): Add the Oracle FS CLI installation folder to the Path system environment variable which is described in this document.
