Installing EPM System Products

Review the installation process for Oracle EPM System products, including new deployments, component selection, middleware home configuration, and product deployment using the EPM System Installer.

You can install Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System products using the graphical user interface, or using a silent mode installation response file.

When you install EPM System products, choose which type of installation to perform:

• New installation.

• Re-install this release.

• Apply Update. For information about applying an update, see Applying an Update to EPM System Products.

To install EPM System products:

1. Choose a method:

   • (Windows) Right-click installTool.cmd in the root directory to which you extracted the EPM System Installer files and select Run as administrator. This command must be run only with Administrator privileges. When you open this window, the title bar reads Administrator: Command Prompt. Commands running within this window are run with Administrator privileges.

   • Create a silent installation response file. See Performing Silent Installations.

   • (Linux) Change to the root directory to which you extracted the EPM System Installer files and enter ./installTool.sh.

   You can specify an alternate tmp directory by using the -tmp parameter. For example: ./installTool.cmd -tmp /templocation.
