The java.library.path system variable is missing or invalid. Please set java.library.path

Hi Experts,
I do install Oracle 18c client on Solaris SPARC 64 using SSH from Windows 10 PC. I did configure the DISPLAY parameter as (My local IP:10.0)
When I run the installer, I get the following error message:

The java.library.path system variable is missing or invalid. Please set java.library.path with a correct value and retry the operation.

Hi Slightwv,
Thanks for the advice regarding using instant client instead of using full client installation package, I will check with developer regarding this option.

Regarding my question and your hints, the Oracle client package which I use is "SOLARIS.SPARC64_180000_client.zip" and OS bit is "64-bit sparcv9 kernel modules".

Thanks,
Daniel Mina
>>the Oracle client package which I use is "SOLARIS.SPARC64_180000_client.zip"

Sorry but that doesn't mean anything to me.
I mean that it's the same OS type which is Solaris and its bit is 64 same as OS bit.
OK.  I'm not familiar with Sparc so probably cannot be much more help.  One last thing to check is maybe make sure Java is installed?
Java is installed on the machine as below:

# java -version
java version "1.6.0_24"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode)

I believe I could go with your advice to use instant client, I may need your support regarding the installation and configuration as this is my first time to use this type of installation. I also found installation steps at Oracle's web site as below:

https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/r-enterprise/1.5.1/oread/installing-oracle-database-instant-client.html#GUID-49C6B904-FE97-43F2-864E-19AA7D904548
Link seems good from a quick scan.

I mentioned before, there really isn't an "install" for the basic client.  Just unzip and run.  What tools/utilities do they need?
Thanks Slightwv, I used the instant client as per your recommendation.
For anyone who may pass over here searching for a solution for this error, I believe that using a higher version of Java may fix this issue.
