As mentioned earlier, SCR is a Java-based tool, so it has some prerequisites, such as the latest JRE and JDK versions installed on the base OS. We will now check all the requirements that we need to get SCR going.
Before we start, we must have an RHEL 7 server deployed, the minimum install option of the RHEL installer installs the necessary features we need to start with. We will need to install Apache and a few other utilities, but those we can install later. The latest JRE and JDK RPMs can be downloaded from Oracle.com. We also need root credentials to install the patches.
Log in to the RHEL server with an SSH tool such as PuTTY and go to the folder where the installers have been copied. Then, follow these steps:
Downloading:
Visit http://www.oracle.com/index.html and download the latest RPMs for JRE and JDK for RHEL 7 x64.
Once the RPMs have been downloaded, you can use a tool such as winscp to copy the installer to the SCR server.
