In this post, I briefly outline how I installed an IBM Worklight Server in about 10 minutes, via a small number of commands :-)
For my server, I'm using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 ( what else ) and the Enterprise version of the Worklight Server product.
I'm actually performing the installation as a non-root user ( wasadmin ) but one could choose to install as root ( ! ).
Me being me, I've downloaded BOTH versions: -
IBM Worklight Consumer Edition V5.0 zip of Installation Manager Repository for IBM Worklight Server Multiplatform English Only (CI88QEN)
-rw-r--r--. 1 501 games 146M Sep 25 17:35 IM_Rep_Worklight_Server_wce_5.0.0.zip
IBM Worklight Enterprise Edition V5.0 zip of Installation Manager Repository for IBM Worklight Server Multiplatform English Only (CI88KEN)
-rw-r--r--. 1 501 games 146M Sep 25 13:18 IM_Rep_Worklight_Server_wee_5.0.0.zip
I'd previously installed IBM Installation Manager 1.5 (IIM) using this command: -
$ /mnt/hgfs/WP8/Setup/IIM/linux_x86/userinstc -input ~/install_IIM.rsp -acceptLicense
as I was using it to prepare for a WebSphere Portal 8 installation ( see this blog post for more details ).
IIM can be downloaded from a variety of places, including this: -
Unpack Worklight
$ cd /tmp
$ mkdir WL
$ cd WL/$ unzip /mnt/hgfs/Software/Worklight/IM_Rep_Worklight_Server_wee_5.0.0.zip
Record a response file
$ /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/IBMIM -record install_WLEE.rsp -skipInstall skippy
which generates the following response file: -
install_WLEE.rsp

Note the three highlighted lines; the first indicates the location of the Worklight repository, post the unpacking process ( /tmp/WL/imf-offering/wee/ ), the other two lines indicate the location into which Worklight is going to be installed.
In addition, note that, for my own purposes, I'm using Apache Derby ( this colour ) and WebSphere Application Server 8.5 Liberty Profile ( this colour ).
Of course, you can record your own response file, and choose to use an existing DB2 UDB 9.7, MySQL 5.1 or Oracle 11g installation, and also choose an existing ( installed ) version of WAS 7 or, perhaps, Tomcat 7 JEE server.
Perform the installation
$ /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/IBMIM -input install_WLEE.rsp -acceptLicense -noSplash -silent
This took a few minutes, at the end of which Worklight is installed in /opt/IBM/Worklight.
To prove it, I started the server: -
$ /opt/IBM/Worklight/server/wlp/bin/server.bin start worklightServer
and then access the Worklight console: -
That's it for now.
For further information, here's the official IBM Worklight documentation: -
Enjoy !
