In this section I will explain the first part about the simple installation of Oracle Linux 5.4- 32 bits on Oracle VM VirtualBox.
The media can be found on Oracle Software Delivery Cloud – Oracle Linux and Oracle VM (https://edelivery.oracle.com/linux), when was downloaded on 01 January 2015.
Windows 7 64-bit Clients + 32-bit Browsers Certified with EBS 11i & 12. Update Sep 15, 2010: Changed JRE 1.6.003 to JRE 1.6.010 for Firefox and EBS 12.1 sections There are three possible configurations for Windows 7 desktop clients: We certified the first configuration in December 2009: E-Business Suite with 32-bit Windows 7 desktop clients. 4.1 Oracle VM Server for x86 Supported Guest Operating Systems. The guest virtual machines you create in an Oracle VM Server for x86-based server pool must be one of the following supported configurations. Table 4.1 Hardware Virtualized Supported Guest Operating Systems (Linux and Solaris) Guest Operating System. Hardware Virtualized 32-bit. Best virtual machines free for Windows 10 32 or 64-bit. When it comes to Virtualization platforms for professional or home users of Windows 10 32-bit or 64-bit, then there are only a couple of or rather I say only three best possible options. Of course, Docker and Vagrant like platforms are there but inclined more towards advance and enterprise.
After login using your Oracle account (If you don’t have one, you must do), read the text and mark the options ” I have reviewed the terms of the License Agreement or the Oracle License Agreement above and accept its terms ” and “YES, I accept these Export Restrictions” and click in “Continue”.
Now, you will choose your product pack choosing “Oracle Linux” in the option “Select a Product Pack” and your platform “X86 32 bit” in the option “Platform” . After that, click on the button “OK” .In the next page, you will able to download the media about the platform.Thus, mark the option “Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 4 Media Pack for x86 (32 bit)” and click in “Continue”.
Now, you can download 12 medias . But, for our installation, we need only the Part Number V17793-01 (“Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 4 for x86 (32 Bit) – DVD”). Then click in this option and do the download this media.
After that you did the download about the Part Number V17793-01. You will extract the files in a directory on your platform and put the ISO file “Enterprise-R5-U4-Server-i386-dvd” in your Oracle VM VirtualBox (If you don’t have a VM installed, you can do download on link https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads), when was downloaded on 01 January 2015.
When you are creating your OracleVM VirtualBox, you need choose the platform type as “Linux” and Oracle Version as “Oracle (32bit)”. Follow the example below:
After this step, will questioned about the memory size for you virtual machine (I put 2048 MB , but I guess 1024 is enough) and the “Create a virtual hard drive now”. On the next page you choose “VDI (VirtualBox Disc Image)” for the hard drive file type and “Dinamically allocated”or “Fixed size” to the method the storage alocation to your VM. Thus, you will put the size of the disc (30 or 40 GB is a good size).
Good, now you created your VM. But you need put the ISO file for Oracle Linux 5.4 installation. For it, you will click in “Seetings” in the Oracle VM with your VM selected. Follow below the menu on Oracle VM:
After you to click in “Seetings” , choose “Storage” and put the ISO FILE “Enterprise-R5-U4-Server-i386-dvd” on the “Controller: IDE” through the option “Add CD/DVD Device”. Your VM must be similar the follow image:
Click in the button “OK” and now you will able to install Oracle Linux 5.4 – 32 bits in your VM. This step will submitted on the next post.
I hope this post can help you!
See ya, Bruno Reis.
Important — This page only applies up to Java 8. Starting with Java 9, Oracle has entirely removed the 32-bit Java download with its slow Client VM, and also deprecated and disabled the Java browser plugin. Simply download the Windows installer for Java SE 9 from the Oracle Technology Network to avoid all the issues described below.
This website offers several Java programs for download. These require a current Java Runtime Environment (JRE) which is either distributed by itself or as part of a Java Development Kit (JDK).
Linux systems often come with OpenJDK preinstalled; otherwise, you can get prebuilt packages from the Oracle Technology Network. Mac OS-X used to preinstall Java 6 but Oracle now distributes the current version from java.com.
Theoretically, Windows users should also get the current JRE from java.com. But in practice, Oracle’s default Windows download is obsolete, dangerous, and possibly annoying. Here I’ll explain why you should avoid it, and what Windows users should do instead.
Default Oracle JRE
Oracle always offers the 32-bit JRE to Windows users, even for 64-bit systems, unless you arrive at java.com with a 64-bit browser. What’s wrong with that? All of the following:
- Oracle checks the browser because the JRE installs a browser plugin which is a significant security risk and should be turned off immediately. You don’t want it enabled in your default browser!
- Oracle’s 32-bit JRE for Windows, and only that edition, lacks the fast modern Server Virtual Machine (VM) that’s the default on all other systems. Instead, it ships only with the slow obsolete Client VM. Don’t be fooled by the misleading names – the current “Server” VM is in no way exclusive to servers. Non-Windows systems use it to execute all Java programs, and so should you.
- Oracle used to partner with third-party “sponsors” for its default Windows JRE installer. This could mean changing your browser search to Yahoo or even bundling Ask Toolbar. The current installer appears to be free of such crapware but you never know when it might return…
First Uninstall Everything
Make sure to uninstall any old or otherwise unwanted versions of Java on your system. Manually installed newer versions might not replace older ones, and 64-bit editions never replace 32-bit ones. They all install side-by-side, so you might retain unwanted browser plugins or accidentally run the wrong VM.
Even uninstalling an Oracle JRE/JDK may not delete its humongous installation cache, so you must do that manually as well. You can find obsolete installation caches in directory C:Users<User>AppDataLocalLowOracleJava, where <User> is your Windows user name.
Oracle Offline Installers
The simplest option is to get one of the “Windows Offline” installers from JRE 8 Downloads. These have never installed crapware, although they do come with the unwanted browser plugin.
- Oracle 64-bit JRE — Most people are running a 64-bit version of Windows today. If you do, simply get the 64-bit offline installer. The browser plugin is present but harmless since hardly anyone uses 64-bit browsers, and you’ll have the proper Server VM to boot.
- Oracle 32-bit JRE — If you must use the 32-bit JRE, the 32-bit offline installer at least definitely avoids crapware. You still need to disable the browser plugin, though, and you won’t get the Server VM.
Advanced JRE Options
Oracle’s Technology Network provides a few more download options for advanced users. These are all linked from the central Java SE Downloads page.
Oracle 32-bit JDK with JRE
The 32-bit Server VM is only distributed with the 32-bit Java SE Development Kit 8 (x86/i586). The JDK includes a public JRE, but some extra steps are needed to enable the Server VM there:
- Find the private JRE of your JDK installation, e.g.
'C:Program FilesJavajdk1.8.0_77jrebin'. ('Program Files (x86)'on 64-bit Windows.) - Copy the entire
serverfolder from that directory into the public JRE,'C:Program FilesJavajre1.8.0_77bin'. You should already see aclientfolder in that directory. - When running a Java program, specify the
-serverswitch after thejavaorjavawcommand.
Remember that the JDK still comes with the unwanted browser plugin, so you’ll have to disable that.
Virtualbox 64 Bit Windows 7
Oracle JRE without Installer
64 Bit Virtualbox Windows 10
The JRE 8 Downloads page also provides both Windows JREs as .tar.gz archives without installer. This avoids both crapware and browser plugin, but also removes any OS integration whatsoever. Specifically, executing Java applications requires manually invoking java[w].exe from wherever the archive was unpacked. Moreover, the 32-bit JRE still does not include the Server VM.
Oracle Vm Only 32 Bit Download
These archives are not suitable for average users (who wouldn’t know how to unpack them for starters), but the 64-bit version may appeal those who are comfortable with manual file management and who really don’t want Oracle messing with their operating system.
