2 Installing Oracle Tuxedo Application Rehosting Workbench Using GUI-Mode Installation

The following sections describe how to install Oracle Tuxedo Application Rehosting Workbench using graphical user interface (GUI) mode installation on UNIX systems:

2.1 What Is GUI-Mode Installation?

The graphical user interface mode installation is the graphics-based method of executing the Oracle Installation program. It can be run on UNIX system.

To run GUI-mode installation, the console attached to the machine on which you are installing the software must support a Java-based GUI. Not all consoles for UNIX systems support Java-based GUIs.

Note:

To install Oracle Tuxedo Application Rehosting Workbench on a UNIX system with a non-graphics console, use silent install mode.

2.2 Starting GUI-Mode Installation on a UNIX System

To start the GUI-mode installation process on a UNIX system, follow these steps:

  1. Select a UNIX system that meets the hardware and software requirements described in Oracle Tuxedo Application Rehosting Workbench Supported Platforms
  2. Log in to the UNIX system as the Oracle Tuxedo Application Rehosting Workbench administrator.
  3. Ensure that you have enough free space for the Oracle Tuxedo Application Rehosting Workbench installation.
