Installation of Weblogic 12c – we need Java Development Kit(JDK) and then install the 12cR2 (12.2.1.4.0) WebLogic Server.

In this article I have shared the steps for installing weblogic server software on Linux machine. The version I have used is 12cR2 (12.2.1.4.0) WebLogic Server.

Oracle WebLogic Server is a platform for developing, deploying and running enterprise applications, such as Java, for on-premises and in the cloud. WebLogic Server offers a robust, mature, and scalable implementation of Java Enterprise Edition (EE).

You can download weblogic software from Oracle Fusion Middleware Software Downloads

Create the directory for installing weblogic server.

mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/middleware12c/

chmod -R 777 /u01/app/oracle/middleware12c/

JDK 1.8 installation directory:

tar -xvf jdk-8u241-linux-x64.tar -C /software/
cd /software

Set the JAVA_HOME variable to where the JDK is installed.

 $ export JAVA_HOME=/software/jdk1.8.0_241

Set the PATH which include the bin directory of the JDK

 $ export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

I have created tmp directory under /u01/tmp. Temporary space required during the installation.

mkdir -p /software/tmp

chmod -R 777 /software/tmp

export TMP=/software/tmp

export TMPDIR=/software/tmp

To set the DISPLAY

export DISPLAY=:1
