Start Here: Local Install of a PeopleSoft Image
This series of posts will assist in installing a PeopleSoft Image to your local desktop/laptop.
Everything from downloading the files, installing the full stack image, and configuring a working Application Designer, will be documented. You will in essence have both a working demo of the chosen PeopleSoft application as well as a development environment.
Prerequisites:
- Decent laptop/desktop
- Memory/RAM: It is best to have at least 8 GB of memory. It can work on less than 8 GB, but the image will be slower. 16 GB is optimal. (If you have less than 12 GB of memory, you will need to adjust the memory during the install.)
- Hard Drive: The PeopleSoft Image (PI) will be faster on an SSD Hard Drive. You need about 125 GB of hard drive space free for the largest PIs as of 2019.
- CPU: The more recent CPU chips will make the install and use of the PI better. It will install on a Surface tablet, but will be very slow to install and use.
- Oracle Support ID
- You will need an Oracle Support ID that has PeopleSoft support, in order to download the 12 to 13 zip files.
- Internet Connection
- Does this even have to be mentioned?
- Once you download VirtualBox and the 12 to 13 zip files, you can unplug from the Internet.

Here are 8 easy steps to get PeopleSoft PI installed on your local desktop or laptop.
