First, we have to get the Oracle 10g RC2 installer for Linux. You have to go on the Oracle site: http://www.oracle.com and download it (you'll have to register) Then type this line to install the necessary libraries :
sudo apt-get install gcc, make, binutils,libmotif3,lesstif2,rpm,libaio,zipAfter the download, we have to unzip the archive file that we have download:
unzip fichier_d'installation_oracle.zipThe first thing to do in the system's preparation is to simulate a Red Hat distribution. Don't worry, it's not difficult when you follow the guide. The Red Hat is differenciated by Ubuntu in the directory architecture. So we'll create some symbolic link to simulate the Red Hat architecture:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/awk /bin/awksudo ln -s /usr/bin/rpm /bin/rpmsudo ln -s /usr/bin/basename /bin/basename sudo ln -s /etc /etc/rc.dTo finish with this step, we have to create a file /etc/redhat-release that countain the information of the Red Hat system, this file is scanned by the installer and if it doesn't exist or if the information countained are wrong, the installer will not work:
sudo gedit /etc/redhat-releaseCopy/Paste the following text:
Red Hat Linux release 3.0 (drupal)This will simply create the system requirement:
sudo userdel nobody sudo groupadd oinstall sudo groupadd dba sudo groupadd nobody sudo useradd -g oinstall -G dba -p passwd -d /home/oracle oracle -s /bin/bash sudo useradd -g nobody nobodyNow, we create the directory where Oracle will be installed
sudo mkdir -p /u01/app/oraclesudo mkdir -p /u02/oradatasudo chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01 /u02sudo chmod -R 775 /u01 /u02At the end of /etc/security/limits.conf add the following:
* soft nproc 2047 * hard nproc 16384 * soft nofile 1024 * hard nofile 65536In the file /etc/pam.d/login, /etc/pam.d/su uncomment the following:
session required /lib/security/pam_limits.soAdd this line to /etc/profile
if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536 fiAdd the following lines to the end of /home/oracle/.bashrc (open it in root or oracle user):
umask 022 PATH=${PATH}:/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/ ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/ ORACLE_SID=orcl ORATAB=/etc/oratab ORACLE_HOME_LISTNER=$ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_BASE=$ORACLE_HOME export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_SID ORATAB ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_HOME_LISTNERThe system is now correctly configurated. Well going to the next step.
Launch a terminal and execute the following:
cd your_database_dirxhost +sudo susu oracleORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle ORACLE_SID=orclexport ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_SIDunset ORACLE_HOMEunset TNS_ADMINORATAB=/etc/oratabumask 022./runInstallerVictory, now you can see that:
For the graphical mode, no more simply, just follow the instructions if you have no idea of what you are doing, default options works fine.
Warning : When you'll see the following image, execute the script that it demand to.
Open a terminal and do (in our case)
sudo /u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oraInventory/orainstRoot.shsudo /u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/root.shFinally, you have finished the installation:
The installation is done, we have to reboot the system to kill some installation's daemons. After, you'll have to do the following to launch the Oracle server:
