How to install JDK8, WLS12.2.1 & OTD 12.2.1 on Oracle Linux

You have learned :

- WebLogic 12.2.1 & Multitenancy : example of what you can do with some new features

- How to create an Oracle Enterprise Linux 7.2 VM on VirtualBox

Now we proceed with the Demo creation.

In the previous POST we have putted JDK 8, WLS 12.2.1 & OTD 12.2.1 in the Shared Dir.

You can download these files from:

JDK 8: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
I have selected

Linux x64

172.86 MB

jdk-8u65-linux-x64.tar.gz

But check if there is a new version :)

WLS 12.2.1: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/weblogic/downloads/index.html
Select Fusion Middleware Infrastructure Installer (1.4 GB)

OTD 12.2.1: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webtier/downloads/traffic-director-1373931.html

Select the release for Oracle Linux 64bit

If you have followed my previous POST, now:
- start your Oracle Linux VM and log in with the user weblogic/welcome1
- go in the directory /home/weblogic/Oracle
- now you will have:

Now we can proceed with the installation of, JDK, WLS and OTD.

JDK 8 is very simple to install, the file is a tar gz (in the file name is missing tar ...):
- go in the directory /home/weblogic/Oracle
- execute [tar xvf name_of_your_jdk_file]

Your JDK 8 is installed.

We can proceed with the installation of WLS 12.2.1:

Unzip the file:

Execute the jar file:

Click on Ok:

Click on Next:

Click on Next:

Select an Oracle Home, if you follow this guide I suggest:
/home/weblogic/Oracle/els1221

Select "Fusion Middleware infrastructure With Examples":

Click on Next:

Deselect "I wish to receive ..."
Click on Next:

Click on Yes:

Click on Install:

Click on Next:

Click on Finish:

You have installed WLS 12.2.1 and you can find your Oracle Home "wls1221" under /home/weblogic/Oracle:

We can proceed with the installation of OTD 12.2.1:

Unzip the zip otd file:

Now you have a bin file to install: fmw_12.2.1.0.0_otd_linux64.bin:

ATTENTION: if you try to install now the OTD you will not pass the prerequisite checks (this, at the moment, happens in all the Linux distributions)

[On Windows you can install OTD from Windows 8.1 and with the last release of Microsoft Visual C++ 12]

To solve this issue you must execute the following commands (as root):

sudo su
yum install ksh
yum install compat-libcap1-1.10
yum install libaio-devel.x86_64
yum install compat-libstdc++-33.x86_64

Verify your LAN connection and that you are connected to internet, you need this for the yum command:

execute :
sudo su (welcome1)
yum install ksh

execute yum install compat-libcap1-1.10

execute yum install libaio-devel.x86_64

execute yum install compat-libstdc++-33.x86_64

execute exit command, so you change from root to weblogic:

Now you are ready to install OTD 12.2.1:
Execute the otd bin file:

Click on Ok:

Click on Next:

Click on next:

Select the Oracle Home created during the WLS installation:
/home/weblogic/Oracle/wls1221

Select "Collocated OTD ...":

Now the Prerequisite Checks is ok:

Click on Install:

Click on Next:

Click on Finish:

You have now installed OTD, all the otd files are inside wls1221 dir, in the next post we will configure WLS & OTD:

end.
