Oracle Application Server 10g Infrastructure is required
for all the Oracle Application Server 10g middle-tier installations except
when installing the J2EE and Web Cache without single sign-on or clustering.
You must install an Oracle Application Server 10g Infrastructure in your
network prior to installing the Portal and Wireless and Business Intelligence
and Forms. For better performance and easier manageability, you must install
Oracle Application Server 10g Infrastructure on a separate computer.
Now you are ready to install Oracle Application Server Infrastructure
10g. Perform the following steps:

for the installer files. This directory contains the files only for the
installation and not for the products you are installing.
Change the location to /home/oracle/oraInventory. Click OK.
3.
Specify the UNIX group name that has the permission to update the Oracle
database and other Oracle applications on the system. Enter the name as
oinstall. Click Next.

a terminal window and enter the following commands:
su
<rootpassword>
cd /home/oracle/oraInventory ls
./orainstRoot.sh
