This is just a quick note to remind myself of how incredibly easy it is to install the base products without the aid of a mouse!

Note to Windoze users: Why?!?!  I’m only showing Linux examples in this blog so I encourage you to just say NO to win-no-z 

install.sh

!/bin/bash
./wls1034_oepe111161_linux32.bin -mode=silent -silent_xml=./silent.xml

silent.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bea-installer>
  <input-fields>
      <data-value name="BEAHOME" value="/opt/app/wls10.3.4" />
      <data-value name="WLS_INSTALL_DIR" value="/opt/app/wls10.3.4/wlserver_10.3" />
  </input-fields>
</bea-installer> 

Note about Oracle_Home: Since all products are moving to a common WLS base, I simply use the WLS version as my Oracle Home.  In this case wls10.3.4.  Also, I keep my user_projects outside my Oracle_Home directory to keep things clean.  I typically use /opt/app/user_projects or a variation of that.
