How to Install Oracle Database 12c on Oracle Linux 6.4 64bit

We are installing single instance database using non ASM file system

In my last 2 session I demonstrated how to create virtual machine using vmware workstation 9 and how

to Install Oracle Linux 6.4 64bit on it.

Here we will learn to Install oracle database 12c on Oracle Linux 6.4 64bit.

After installing oracle Linux the first step is to check the network configuration and setup the public yum

please refer to my articles on how to manually configure ip address and setting up public yum on my

blog.

Now install the Oracle rdbms server 12c preinstall rpm which will install all the package required for the

database and also create the required OS users and groups

[root@db12c02 /]# yum install oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall

[root@db12c02 /]# passwd oracle

Changing password for user oracle.

New password:

Retype new password:

passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

Now create Oracle base & software location folder

[root@db12c02 /]# mkdir –P /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1

Now change the ownership of /u01 directory to oracle and oinstall group

[root@db12c02 /]# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01

Now change the permission

[root@db12c02 /]# chmod -R 775 /u01

[root@db12c02 /]# mkdir –P /u01/app/oraInventory

Create directory to stage oracle software since I have given required permission to /u01 I will create my

staging directory in that

[root@db12c02 /]# mkdir –P /u01/software

Now edit the /etc/hosts file to provide fully qualified domain name for your machine in my case I have

put the entry as below

192.168.1.3 db12c01.localdomain db12c01

Save and exit the vi editor

Ping db12c01.localdomain

Ping db12c01

To check if the hostname is getting resolved properly

Downloaded the Oracle 12c software from

https://edelivery .oracle.com

Now using winscp login using oracle user and copy both the zip file to /u01/software directory

V38500-01_1of2.zip

V38500-01_2of2.zip

Now change the directory to /u01/software

Unzip V38500-01_1of2.zip

Unzip V38500-01_2of2.zip

As I am using mobaterm personal edition. I don’t have to start my xsession for oracle user as when I

start the session this software automatically starts the xserver for each connected session.

But you can run xhost +x command to start the X session

Now run the installer here we are only going to install the software. We will be creating the database in
