I have downloaded the IBM Worklight Enterprise Server, trying to install Worklight server with Apache Tomcat and deploy my worklight application in my remote server.
It is mentioned in the readme file, that I need "IBM installation Manager" to install the "IBM Worklight Server".
I downloaded the IBM installation Manager and followed the steps in the readme file and installed the Worklight server in my local machine.
Installed Apache Tomcat in my remote machine and copied the worklight- jee-library.jar to the $TOMCAT_HOME/lib directory.
Is this the right way to install IBM Worklight server ?, or is there any other way to install "IBM Worklight Enterprise Server" in my remote machine from the command line ?
I am stuck at this place
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

No, it is not the right way. Specifically, you should not copy anything into Tomcat. The installation does it for you.
The steps to follow are
Install the IBM Installation Manager version 1.5.2 and onward (available on the web). This is a one time step.
Download the Worklight server package from IBM
Point the IBM Installation Manager to the Worklight server package (File - Preferences in main screen).
Start the installation.
The installation will ask you for a path to Tomcat and will install everything that is needed inside Tomcat.
If your server does not have a GUI, the steps 3 and 4 are replaced by the so-called silent installation.
Quite often you won't have access to the server GUI but you can simply redirect the X display output to your desktop and launch IM. Ie. if you are running Linux export DISPLAY=xxx.xxx.xx:0.0
If you are running Windows just use Exceed.

After installing MobileFirst Platform , It give No run time is there.
My configuration was given below:
1. WebSphere Application Server 8.5
2. Oracle 11g Enterprise edition
3. Mobile-first platform 7.1
Please help me to create Run-time in Mobile first Console.
From where I will download sample war file (for ex: project.war) for creating run-time environment.
You have only mentioned "after installing IBM MobileFirst" and not exactly the steps followed. Configuring IBM MobileFirst Platform has two phases:
a) Installing the application binaries into the filesystem using Installation Manager.
b) Deploying MFP admin services and runtime in to an Application server using Server configuration tool or ANT scripts. The runtime war file needs to be created using IBM MFP Studio.
If you have not performed phase 2 or only installed admin services and not the runtime, go through the information in these links:
Using server configuration tool
Using ANT scripts to deploy
To get you started with various MFP 7.1 projects , you refer and use any of the sample applications available at MFP 7.1 Getting started tutorials.
Once you have any of these sample projects loaded or a new project created in MFP studio, you can build the server side artefacts (adapters, application wlapps and runtime war) within the MFP studio or using ANT scripts:
Refer this link for further details and steps- Deploy projects.
how to add runtime in ibm mobilefirst 7.1 in remote server ?
As of now I have remote server where already one runtime exist, I have deployed a .wlapp and .adapter file in console and I am testing this on a device and its working fine as mentioned in IBM MobileFirst Platform 7.1 - No runtime environment deployed in this server
Question is how can i add(deploy) another runtime ?
Assuming you have another MobileFirst project, you need to use the IBM Configuration Tool in order to deploy the second .war file. It's basically following the same steps you did for the first .war file, only deploying a different (.war) file...
You can also deploy manually: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSHS8R_7.1.0/com.ibm.worklight.deploy.doc/admin/c_manually_configuring_app_server.html
I recently installed Liberty Core server, created a new Profile, installed MobileFirst Platform Server and deployed a MobileFirst runtime environment with the Server Configuration Tool in MacBook.
Instead of installing in default directory(Application/ibm/*) I choose to install under custom directory (Users/username/LibertyCore).
I started the server manually installed adapters and *.wlapp from worklight console.
Instead of doing this manual deployment I want to do it from command line? My understanding is I have to use MFP command line utility.
I installed MFP CLI utility then parsed to the App Project folder to build and deploy to currently installed Liberty Core server I see issue with MFP PUSH it says server is not started though server is running.
So when I do MFP Info I found that CLI is pointing to completely different set up. How can I make CLI to point to currently installed Liberty Server.
Note that you can run "mfp help" to see all available CLI commands.
There is the command "mfp server". Using this command you can add additional server definitions: "mfp server add". Run the command and follow the on-screen instructions to add a server definition for your remote server...
Once you've added it, you can use "mfp push your-remote-server-name" to push the artifacts to the remote server.
Can we install Worklight 6.2 on WebSphere 8.5.5.1 Full Version (i.e not on Liberty Profile)? It would be great if someone has installation guide link for that.
Yes you can.
Worklight supports WAS, WAS Liberty profile and Tomcat as the 'underlying' application server.
The procedure is the same.
You install the application server
You use the IBM Installation Manager to deploy the Worklight server artifacts, etc
You use the Configurator tool to set-up the databases, deploy a project's .war, .adapter and .wlapp files
This is all covered in the Installing and configuring user documentation topic
We have upgraded Worklight Server to 6.1.0.1 via IBM Installation Manager and it shows as successfully updated. However, the Worklight Console still shows 6.1.0.0
WAS 7.0.0.31
About:
Server version: 6.1.0.00.20131126-0630
Project WAR version: 6.1.0.01.20140311-2356
Adapter name: xxxxxxx. Version: 6.1.0.01.20140311-2356
Application name: xxxxxxxx. Version: 6.1.0.01.20140311-2356
Any ideas on what may be wrong?
Worklight console is nothing but your WAR. Re Deploy your WAR which is build from 6.1.0.01 and check again.
Server install appears to be corrupted and fixpack not really applied (although installation manager says it was). The console war file had nothing to do with this problem.
On a separate server, the identical war file was deployed and shows the server at the correct level.
