The installation wizard installs the product files into the installation root directory.
You must create a profile that defines a deployment manager, a managed node, or a stand-alone application server to have an operational environment.
Create a deployment manager profile and an application server profile.
Use the Profile Creation wizard to create profiles in the default profile_root directory or in a directory that you select.
See Creating profiles through the graphical user interface .
