Fill up the software location desired for GoldenGate Studio.

install_gg_studio3

Choose the option Complete installation.

install_gg_studio4

On the next screen, we can see some prerequisite checks.

At the end OUI provides a summary of the installation with the location of the logs.

Now GoldenGate Studio is installed.

To work properly GoldenGate Studio needs a repository. In a next blog I will explain how to create it.
