3.2 Starting Console-Mode Installation on a UNIX System

  1. Select a UNIX system that meets the hardware and software requirements described in Oracle Tuxedo 22c Release Platform Data Sheets.
  2. Log in to the UNIX system as the Oracle Tuxedo administrator.
  3. Ensure that you have enough free space for the Oracle Tuxedo installation.

    For disk space requirements, see Oracle Tuxedo 22c Release Platform Data Sheets. For important disk space allocation information, see File and Database Management and Disk Space Allocation.

  4. Install Oracle Tuxedo by downloading from the Oracle Web site:
    1. Go to Download Oracle Tuxedo, and download the Oracle Tuxedo 22c Release 1 (21.1.0.0) installation file specific to your platform.
    2. Go to the directory where you downloaded the installer, unzip the installer file, and then go to the Disk1/install directory, set up environment variable JAVA_HOME to JRE or JDK, on the command line input ./runInstaller.sh -console to invoke the installation procedure.

      Note:

      Java version should be 1.8 or higher. JAVA_HOME and Java version are checked. If JAVA_HOME is not set or the java version is less than 1.8, installation is aborted.

3.4 Assigning File Ownership on a UNIX System

If you install the Oracle Tuxedo software on a UNIX system, then Oracle strongly recommends that you create a separate user account for the Oracle Tuxedo administrator and give ownership of the Oracle Tuxedo files to that account. To change ownership of the Oracle Tuxedo software on a UNIX machine, enter the following command: 
chown -R adm_account full_path_of_tux_prod_dir 
chgrp -R adm_group full_path_of_tux_prod_dir
Replace adm_account with the Oracle Tuxedo administrator account, replace adm_group with the Oracle Tuxedo administrator group ID, and replace full_path_of_tux_prod_dir with the full pathname of the product directory in which you installed the Oracle Tuxedo software.
