Installing Enterprise

This section describes the steps required to install any edition of Oracle BPM Enterprise from a graphical user interface.

To install Oracle BPM Enterprise from a text-based console refer to Installing from a Text Console.

To install any Oracle BPM Enterprise:

Obtain the installation file from the Oracle downloads page, and download your desired edition of Oracle BPM Enterprise 10.3 for your platform.
Execute the installation file.
Note: To use an already installed Java VM, specify the full path to the java command passing the LAX_VM parameter to the installer. You must always specify the location to an existing Java installation if a JVM is not included with the installer. Example:
```
OracleBPMEnterpriseSA103000_sol.bin LAX_VM /usr/jdk1.5/bin/java
```
The installation program proceeds with the installation and displays the Introduction page of the installation utility.
At the Introduction page, click Next. The Choose Install Folder appears.
In the Choose Install Folder, enter the path or select a folder where you will install Enterprise. If you have entered a path but wish to use the Installer's default, click on Restore Default Folder to obtain it. Click Next to proceed. Oracle recommends using the default folder path whenever possible, as this will help simplify support. In Windows or 32-bit Linux, the Pre-Installation Summary page appears, and you should go to step 7. Otherwise, the Choose J2SE 1.5 SDK page appears.
In the Choose J2SE 1.5 SDK page, select the Java 1.5 SDK installed in your system that you want Enterprise to use. The installer lists those SDKs that it has detected. If you wish to specify a JDK that is not on the list, you can click on Search for Others for an automatic search, or on Choose Another... to look for the SDK manually. When you have selected the Java SDK that you want, click Next. The Pre-Installation Summary page appears.
Verify the settings shown in the summary. If you need to make any changes, click Previous to go to the page where you need to make the change. Once you are ready to proceed, click Install. The installation is performed. Once it has finished, the Install Complete page appears.
In the Install Complete page, you can choose to exit the installer, to launch the Admin Center program, or to launch the Configuration Wizard. If you exit, you can run the Admin Center at a later time. You can also execute the Configuration Wizard from Admin Center. In all cases, the installation utility will exit.

Enterprise is now installed in your system
