Installation

All Operating Systems

For all operating systems, perform the following tasks:

MacOS

Installing OCCAS on MacOS is similar to Linux, but with a few extra hoops to jump through.

Install the Mac OS X x64 version of Java SE Development Kit 8. Yes, even if you have a more modern ARM (M1/M2/M3) Mac, the installation will fail if it's not the Intel version. Apple's Rosetta will allow it to run, albeit more slowly. Don't worry, we won't use this JDK in the future.

Inventory Directory

Create a default Oracle Inventory directory.

mkdir ~/oraInventory

Create a file called "oraInst.loc". Choose a directory for the inventory location.

inventory_loc=/home/jeff/Oracle/oraInventory
inst_group=staff

To determine which versions of Java you have installed, type the following command:

/usr/libexec/java_home -V

You will be treated to an output similar to:

Matching Java Virtual Machines (6):
    17.0.10 (arm64) "Oracle Corporation" - "Java SE 17.0.10" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-17.jdk/Contents/Home
    11.0.22 (arm64) "Oracle Corporation" - "Java SE 11.0.22" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.8.401.10 (arm64) "Oracle Corporation" - "Java" /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home
    1.8.0_401 (arm64) "Oracle Corporation" - "Java SE 8" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-1.8.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.8.0_301 (x86_64) "Oracle Corporation" - "Java SE 8" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_301.jdk/Contents/Home

Set your Java to the x86_64 version (even if you have ARM).

export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8.0_301`
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

Now run the installer, like so:

To run the installer using Java 1.8.0_301, type the following commands:

export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8.0_301`
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

java -jar occas_generic.jar -ignoreSysPrereqs

Once the installation is complete, we need to comment out the JVM_64 line in the ./oui/.global.properties file. It should look something like this:

JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.jdk/Contents/Home
JAVA_HOME_11_0=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.jdk/Contents/Home
JAVA_HOME_1_8=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_301.jdk/Contents/Home
#JVM_64=-d64

GUI Install (Linux or Windows)

To launch the installer:

java -jar occas_generic.jar

Welcome

Click Next to continue.

Installation Location

Specify Oracle Home. Give it a descriptive file name.

Installation Type

Choose Complete Installation.

Installation Summary

Click the Save Response File button for use in future silent installations. Click Install to continue.

Installation Progress

Click Next to continue.

Installation Complete

Uncheck Automatically Launch the Configuration Wizard.

Silent Install

Need to install OCCAS without a GUI? Here's how to perform a 'silent' install.

Create a file called "oraInst.loc".

inventory_loc=/home/jeff/Oracle/oraInventory
inst_group=staff

Create a response file, "install.rsp".

[ENGINE]
Response File Version=1.0.0.0.0

[GENERIC]
DECLINE_AUTO_UPDATES=true
ORACLE_HOME=/home/jeff/Oracle/occas81
INSTALL_TYPE=Complete with Examples

Run the 'silent' install.

java -jar occas_generic.jar -ignoreSysPrereqs -silent -invPtrLoc ${PWD}/oraInst.loc -responseFile ${PWD}/install.rsp
