Note:
For up-to-date information and known issues for WebLogic Server for Developers base and supplemental installers, see README files available for each development installer on the Oracle download site.
You download the installers from Oracle Technology Network.
To download the files:
ORACLE_HOME
directory in which to install WebLogic Server for Developers.http://download.oracle.com
. WebLogic Server for Developers JAR files are available only on Oracle Technology Network.The Developers installation has disk space and JDK requirements.
The WebLogic Server for Developers installation requires:
A minimum of 800MB of disk space
JDK 1.8 update or greater

directory.ORACLE_HOME
directoryFollow these steps to run the installer from the ORACLE_HOME
directory.
You create a development domain in the same way you normally do for WebLogic Server using either the Configuration Wizard or WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST).
Oracle recommends that you create the domain outside the ORACLE_HOME
directory.
To create a domain using the Configuration Wizard:
For detailed information about Configuration Wizard screens, click Help or see Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.
To create a domain using WLST, see "Create WebLogic Domains Using WLST Offline" in Understanding the WebLogic Scripting Tool.
You start your domain before accessing the Administration Console.
To start your WebLogic domain and access the Administration Console:
For more about starting and stopping WebLogic Server, see Administering Server Startup and Shutdown for Oracle WebLogic Server.
For more about the WebLogic Server Administration Console, refer to the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help.
To upgrade a development installation, you must download and install the new distribution to a new location. After installing the new distribution, use the Fusion Middleware Reconfiguration Wizard or WLST to associate an existing domain with the new installation.
To upgrade a domain using the Reconfiguration Wizard:
For more information on the Reconfiguration Wizard, click the Help button or see Upgrading Oracle WebLogic Server.
To upgrade a domain using WLST, see "Reconfiguring a WebLogic Domain Using WebLogic Scripting Tool" in Upgrading Oracle WebLogic Server.
You use the Oracle Patching tool (OPatch) to apply patches to a WebLogic Server development installation .
For information about upgrading WebLogic Server, see "About Rolling Updates" in Upgrading Oracle WebLogic Server.
For information about using OPatch, see Patching with OPatch.
Use the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) deinstallation tool to remove a WebLogic Server for Developers installation.
