This chapter describes how to install the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure software.
This chapter contains the following sections:
To start the installation program, perform the following steps.
Log in to the target system.
The installer requires that a certified JDK already exists on your system. For more information, see the appropriate certification document for 12c (12.1.2) on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page.
Go to the directory where you downloaded the installation program.
Launch the installation program by invoking the java executable from the JDK directory on your system, as shown in the examples below.
On UNIX operating systems:
/home/Oracle/jdk7_15/jdk1.7.0_15/bin/java -jar fmw_infra_121200.jar
On Windows operating systems:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_15\bin\java -jar fmw_infra_121200.jar
Be sure to replace JDK location in these examples with the actual JDK location on your system.
When the installation program appears, you are ready to begin the installation. See Section 2.2 for a description of each installation program screen.
The installation program displays a series of screens, in the order listed in Table 2-1.
If you need additional help with any of the installation screens, click the screen name.
