Installing Oracle Hyperion 11.1.2.2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux

Follow these steps if you would like to install Oracle Hyperion 11.1.2.2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.5:

0. Update the server

    yum update && yum upgrade

1. Install Oracle Java

    Go to the download directory and run the following commands:
        chmod +x jdk-6u45-linux-x64-rpm.bin
       ./ jdk-6u45-linux-x64-rpm.bin
       alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/latest/jre/bin/java 200000
