3.1.2 Installing Weblogic

• Obtain Weblogic Server 14.1.1.0.0 zip from the Oracle Downloads. Extract the downloaded zip to get fmw_14.1.1.0.0_wls.jar file to a directory.
• Now to start the installer, go to the directory where you have extracted the jar file.
• Start the installer from the same directory using the below command:

   java –jar <Path>/fmw_14.1.1.0.0_wls.jar
              

Note:

You must enter the absolute path of the folder where the JAR file is located.

If you are installing on a UNIX system, and if this is the first time any Oracle product is being installed on your system with the Oracle Universal Installer, you are asked to provide the location of an inventory directory. This is where the installer sets up subdirectories and maintains inventory data for each Oracle product that is installed on this system.
