echo ".bash_profile executed"
Save the new version of .bash_profile and re-read it, by issuing:
bash$ source .bash_profile
Finally, if you have not any window manager running, it is time to let it
running.
We shall work under the hypothesis that you want to install cdrom Oracle
distribution. Mount the cdrom with:
bash$ mount /mnt/cdrom
and move to the directory that contains the installer:
bash$ cd /mnt/cdrom/install/linux
Then, launch the installer by:
bash$ ./runInstaller
and follow the steps on the GUI it should appear:
- after a first click on
NEXT verify that the proposed path is:
/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7
and click NEXT again;
- fill in the filed
Unix Group Name with the value:
oinstall
If, for any reasons, this is not your first attempt to install Oracle, you will
not be prompted for the Unix Group Name . In this case jump to step 4,
below.
- A pop-up window will ask you to run a script as root user, so, open a terminal
emulator and type in:
bash$ su
bash# cd $ORACLE_HOME
bash# ./orainstRoot.sh
When you're done click Retry on the pop-up window.
- You are now given the option of what to install. Choose
Oracle Enterprise Edition , and
click Next .
It should now allow you to choose what you install with much
finer granularity. Unless you're particularly constrained by disk
space or know exactly what you need, choose
Typical and click Next .
- When it asks you the
Global database name , if you do not have any
particular needs you can type in oracle.localdomain .
Also, verify that the values of SID is set to:
O817DB
Then, click Next .
- The next step is to set the location of the database. Type in:
/u01
and click Next .
- Finally, you are asked to indicate the location where you put java.
If you followed our suggestions the path is already:
/usr/local/java
Since it is fine, click Next , and, then Install .
- The installation completes by a pop-up windows that asks you to run a
script as root. If you closed the previously opened terminal open one
again and type:
bash$ su
bash# cd $ORACLE_HOME
bash# ./root.sh
After the script completes, click OK on the pop-up window.
Oracle Net8 Configuration starts.
Choose Perform typical configuration
and click Next .
- The configuration tool that starts is the
Database Configuration Assistant .
It may signal errors like:
ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE
The temporary solution is to just click on Abort .
These kinds of errors will be recovered in a few!!
When the Database Configuration Assistant concludes its tasks, just
click on Next and the installation concludes.
If you needed to click on Abort , you must:
