Installing Tools and Frameworks on Windows

You run the Oracle Commerce Tools and Frameworks installation wizard to install Tools and Frameworks.

If you have an earlier version of Oracle Commerce Tools and Frameworks, follow the steps in Oracle Commerce Tools and Frameworks Installation Guide to remove it before installing the Tools and Frameworks.

To install the Oracle Commerce Tools and Frameworks:

  1. In your local environment, locate the Tools and Frameworks software that you downloaded from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud.

  2. Extract the Tools and Frameworks package to a local directory.

  3. Navigate to the \cd\Disk1\install directory and double-click the setup.exe installer file to start the wizard.

    The Welcome screen displays.

  4. Click Next to begin the installation process.

  5. Read the License Agreement and click I accept the License Terms and Export Restrictions.

  6. If this is the first product that you have installed on this machine using the Oracle Universal Installer, the Specify Inventory directory screen appears. Specify the directory where the Oracle Universal Installer should place inventory files and directories. Oracle recommends that you accept the default path.

    The Installer uses the Oracle Inventory directory to store inventory information in files and subdirectories. This directory contains permanent and product specific files. Ensure that the files in this folder are not deleted or modified, as this would make patching or upgrading impossible.

  9. Click Next.

    Note

    If you are reinstalling Tools and Frameworks and you receive a message that the name is in use, click Installed Products and remove the previous instance of the name from your Oracle Inventory.

  11. When the End of Installation screen appears, click Exit.

  12. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the Tools and Frameworks installation directory.
