How to Install Oracle Developer Studio 12.5 From a Tar File

Language:

Before You Begin

Make sure that your system meets the System Requirements in Oracle Developer Studio 12.5: Release Notes and has the Required System Software Packages in Oracle Developer Studio 12.5: Release Notes.

If you have not already downloaded the tar file for your platform, go to the Oracle Developer Studio product page to the downloads section and save it to a temporary download-directory such as /var/tmp.
Change to the directory where you want to install the software.
```
% cd install-dir
```
Extract the tar file using the appropriate command for your platform:
```
% bzcat download-directory/OracleDeveloperStudio12.5-solaris-sparc-bin.tar.bz2 | tar -xf -
```
```
% bzcat download-directory/OracleDeveloperStudio12.5-solaris-x86-bin.tar.bz2 | tar -xf -
```
```
% bzcat download-directory/OracleDeveloperStudio12.5-linux-x86-bin.tar.bz2 | tar -xf -
```
The tar file contents are unpacked in a directory named: OracleDeveloperStudio12.5-OS-platform-bin where OS is solaris or linux and platform is sparc or x86.

The Oracle Developer Studio 12.5 product contents are located in the following directory:
