I try to install Oracle 21C Express Edition on Windows 10 Enterprise(on virtual machine). But after setting installation directory, it does not forward more. "Next" click does not give any response or any error.
There was 11G XE before and also 11g clients. I uninstalled all of them. I restarted Windows. My user is added in administration group. Also, Weblogic is installed on Windows.
ORACLE_HOME and TNS variables don't exist in system PATH variables list.
We have similar copy of this VM which have similar config with this. I could install on other VMs but on this I could not.
I could not find any log about installation(C:Programs&files/Oracle/Inventory logs does not contain any log about this setup)
What can be the reason, do you have any idea?
Thanks and regards.
21C XE Setup does not forward
I have an install4j setup on Linux machine. When I install the application on windows, installation process completes but then the application is not launched.
I have checked installation.log and found that an action is not executed properly and so some variables are not assigned values.
I have the same setup on Windows machine that creates installers for all platforms fine. So there is nothing wrong with the setup I have.
Install4j version I am using is 6.1.5
This happened because of the known bug in install4j version 6.1.5. Working fine for former and later versions.
After working with Oracle databases and Apex for many years, I want to get some knowledge about Oracle forms & reports, because they are still quite widely used.
I've never seen Oracle forms & reports, so I want to create a development installation for learning purposes. Unfortunately installing Oracle forms seems a bit more tedious than I expected and I'm a bit stuck.
Windows installation
I first tried installing Oracle 12c (from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/downloads/index.html) on windows 7 x64. I installed the "Standalone forms builder", because when I chose "Forms and reports deployment", I got this error:
After installation I tried to start frmbld.exe, but immediately got this error:
FRM-91135: fatal error: message file D:\oracle\client\user123\product\12.1.0\client_1\forms\mesg\fmcus.msb not found
My oracle client is installed in that directory, but the mentioned file is certainty not there.
linux installation
Googling around I did not find any solution for this problem, so i decided to switch to a Linux virtual box machine. I installed Oracle linux x64 and then installed with a download from the same page again.
Once more I could only choose "Standalone forms builder", when I chose "Forms and reports deployment" I got exactly the same error as on windows. The installation ran successful.
After installation I tried to start formbuilder, this time I was presented this error:
./frmbld: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So now I'm a bit stuck. My questions are:
Am I going the right way with the way I'm trying to install Oracle forms? or is there a better / easier way?
Do I need a "Forms and reports deployment" to be able to experiment with Oracle forms? or is the standalone installation the right way to go?
Are there any pre-installed virtual machines available for this? (I googled but couldn't find anything.)
Do I need a running Oracle database to be able to experiment with Oracle forms?
Linux installation:
Yes you are going the correct path installing Forms/Reports. There is no easier install method (Oracle does not have a prebuilt VM with Forms/Reports).
You will require an Oracle database to connect to.
To fix the linux error you will need to install additional OS packages, probably motif - you can run (to find the packages required): yum whatprovides libXm*
I have installed Forms Builder 12c (standalone install) on Fedora and it is working correctly.
The windows error might be related to you OS PATH ENV - if you have any other Oracle products installed, the PATH order may need to be changed, put the Forms related paths at the beginning.
Unfortunately I was unable to get it properly working with my previous attempts. In the end I restarted an installed a windows 10 x64 virtual machine, after which i followed these excellent video's to get everything working: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tgtHPJGc7o
I'm running "Apache Pig version 0.11.0-cdh4.3.0".
Because of this issue (Pig ORDER command fails) I've been told to set my pig_home or pig_install.
However, I can't figure out where the pig home folder would be when installed through cloudera?
I'm on a ubuntu system (if that help).
Depends on your installation method and possibly the OS itself, but look under /usr/lib/pig/.
Does Meteor support developing on Windows? I did not see any downloads or mention of Windows in the docs.
The "Quick Start" assumes you are on *Nix OS.
Meteor 1.1+: official Windows support launched on https://win.meteor.com/
Meteor 1.0+: there is an official Windows preview.
Meteor 0.8 and older: see http://win.meteor.com/
Proof, Meteor running on Windows.
Edit: See Tom's answer.
Old answer below.
No, this is not yet supported on windows. If you try to install in you will receive the following error:
Sorry, this OS is not supported yet.
As a workaround you can run a linux box in a VM and use that as a server to run meteor but still do all development from within windows. I've done this using VirtualBox to run Ubuntu with no GUI. Here's the steps:
Install VirtualBox
Grab Ubuntu ISO
Setup Ubuntu VM using VirtualBox (just follow the wizard steps)
Install samba on VM to enable file access from windows. This article was a great help.
Install ssh using Ubuntu Software Center. This was helpful.
Shutdown VM and run from a DOS prompt using vboxheadless -startvm "VM Name"
You can then use a ssh client (I'm using cygwin) to connect to the box to run commands e.g. ssh user#box_ip_address
Can browse and edit files using windows file share e.g. \\box_ip_address\share
Can run meteor apps within local browser, just replace the localhost in the address that meteor assigns with the ip address of the box.
I just tried to install it with curl on Windows 7, and got:
Sorry, this OS is not supported yet.
A substantial update as the existing answers to this question are very out of date.
Official Windows support can be found at https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Preview-of-Meteor-on-Windows
Unofficial Windows support for Meteor can be found on http://win.meteor.com/
There are 3 solutions outlined on win.meteor.com, one native MSI installer, and 2 virtualized solutions based on Vagrant:
1) MSI Installer:
Stephen Darnell has picked up where Tom Wijsman graciously left off.
This solution is the most straight forward way to get Meteor running
on Windows with an MSI Installer provided. There are some trade-offs
because this is a fork and can lag behind the latest version as
Stephen can update to and test the latest version.
2) Vagrant Shell Provisioning
Gabriel Pugliese has posted a guide for how to provision Meteor on
Linux with Vagrant's Shell Provisioning. These may be more accessible
to users familier with Linux and Shell scripts. This solution is
easier to tweak through the straight forward shell commands than the
Chef alternative.
3) Vagrant Chef Provisioning
Matthew Sullivan is maintaining a set of Vagrant files, Chef cookbook,
and guide for provisioning Meteor on Linux with Vagrant. This Chef
solution is a slightly more automated and configurable than the shell
solution, however likely not as simple to tweak beyond the provided
configuration parameters as the Shell solution.
GitHub Repos and details can be found on win.meteor.com. The three authors are very responsive on the Meteor-talk Google Group.
A bit of history:
Unofficial Windows support for Meteor was started by Tom Wijsman, and was supported by Tom until 0.5.9. Versions 0.6.0 and later are by Stephen Darnell, Gabriel Pugliese, and Matt Sullivan.
I do not see Nitrous.io mentioned here.
I am using Nitrous.io together with Nitrous Desktop, which allows you to use your favourite text editor (in my case, Sublime Text).
There is a quick tutorial here and Discover Meteor also deals with this in chapter 2.
It sounds like Windows is not supported yet. If you want to play with it, I would suggest grabbing VirtualBox and installing your favorite flavor of Linux on it.
I downloaded the above .msi installer and installed to c:\Meteor
Add the c:\Meteor directory you just made to your PATH environment variable.
Run the following command: npm install Meteor-Test-Installer
Add the C:\Meteor\bin\node_modules\npm\bin directory you just made to your PATH environment variable.

Update the MondoDB folder with the latest mogodb files from the mongodb site.
I've found that new coders who are also new to Meteor might have installed it correctly, but are having trouble figuring out how to open and run it. So I'll just address that issue in this post.
1) I assume you went here: http://win.meteor.com/ and downloaded the MSI installer
2) I assume you then created a newapp in meteor and then ran meteor
3) If steps 1 & 2 are complete, you should see this in your command line:
Initializing mongo database... this may take a moment.
=> Meteor server running on: http://localhost:3000/
4) Open Chrome and type in the local host address: http://localhost:3000/
5) Open your newapp folder - should be located in your Meteor folder wherever its installed on your hard drive
6) Open your newapp.html, newapp.css, and newapp.js files in your favorite editor (like Sublime Text 2)
7) Begin editing these files as you like and watch your page automatically update, as Meteor is designed to do.
Voila!! You're building with Meteor. Enjoy!!
As of two days ago, a preview version is available here:
https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Preview-of-Meteor-on-Windows
Recent check of their site and checking their FAQ, you'll find the Meteor Development Roadmap. They host it on Trello and after the 1.0 launch, you'll see "Official Windows Support." So, it's on the map - now we wait!
