Assuming you are running bash shell and have defined env variable WL_HOME to contain the path to the weblogic home and JAVA_HOME to the path for java binaries for your OS and CLASSPATH have included the path to weblogic.jar

$ cd $WL_HOME/servers/bin

$ source ./setWLSEnv.sh

confiirm with

$ env | egrep 'WL_HOME|JAVA_HOME|CLASSPATH'

run WLST with

$ java weblogic.WLST
