2.2 Starting the Installation Program

Before running the installation program, you must verify the JDK and prerequisite software is installed.

To start the installation program:

  1. Sign in to the host system.
  2. If you have not already done so, verify that a certified JDK is installed on your system: enter java -version on the command line. For 12c (12.2.1.1), the certified JDK is 1.8.0_77 and later.
  3. Verify that you have installed all prerequisite software, such as Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure.
  4. Go to the directory where you downloaded the installation program.
  5. Unzip the installer fmw_12.2.1.1.0_odi_Disk1_1of2.zip and fmw_12.2.1.1.0_odi_Disk1_2of2.zip files.
  6. Start the installation program by running the java executable from the JDK directory. For example:

    • (UNIX) /home/Oracle/Java/jdk1.8.0_77/bin/java —jar fmw_12.2.1.1.0_oggstudio_generic.jar

    • (Windows) C:\home\Oracle\Java\jdk1.8.0_77\bin\java -jar fmw_12.2.1.1.0_oggstudio_generic.jar

Note:

You can also start the installer in silent mode using a saved response file instead of launching the installer screens. For more about silent or command line installation, see Using the Oracle Universal Installer in Silent Mode in Installing Software with the Oracle Universal Installer.

When the installation program appears, you are ready to begin the installation.

2.3 Navigating the Installation Screens

The installer shows a series of screens where you verify or enter information about your installation.

The following table lists the order in which installer screens appear. If you need additional help with an installation screen, click the screen name. You can also click Help on the installation screens for additional instructions.
