Downloading and Installing Oracle Database

Finally, this is the step we are waiting and we are going to install oracle database 19c. This is one of the ways to install the Oracle database on Oracle Linux.

Step 1: Download the Oracle Software.

Go to www.google.com and search for oracle 19c download Linux.

You will get some results. Search for the original website of oracle.com as below and open the website.

Once you open the website you will get the below image. There you will have two files one rpm file and another zip file. You need to download the zip file. We are using a 64-bit computer and downloading an oracle 19c (19.3) zip file. Click on the mentioned file.

Once you click on the file you will get a pop-up of accepting the license agreement. Please check the tick box and click on the download button.

After clicking the Download button the oracle page asks you for the username and password for oracle. Please provide the username and password that we have already used for downloading oracle Linux.

After providing your credentials you will get a popup of downloading the zip file of oracle software as below.

Step 2: Copy the Zip file to the Linux machine.

Once the download is completed. Move the zip file to the shared folder that we have created for the Linux machine.

Once you saved it to the shared folder. Open the Linux machine and open the shared folder. The file should be present there.

Step 3: Move the zip file to the Oracle directory.

Move this zip file to the oracle destination folder. Select Computer and select the below destination /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1/ and paste the file here.

Once you click select on the top right side of the corner, you can find a progress bar that shows you how much percentage the file has been moving. If this circle is full the moving of the file is completed.

Once the moving of the file is completed. You will get a popup like this.

So, the zip file is present in the directory that we required.

Step 4: Unzip the oracle zip file.

Right-click here and open the terminal from this location. Or open the terminal and go to this location. Unzip this file using unzip and the file name as below.

In Oracle 19c we have to unzip this file in the same file. After clicking enter you will get the below lines where there are a lot of unzipping the files. Please wait for some time until the unzip completes.

Step 5: Run Installer

After all the files were unzipped. Open the terminal in the same directory and execute the below command. Command: ./runinstaller. Click Enter. This will open the installer for oracle software and database.

You will get a popup of the Oracle Installer setup process. These are the below steps to set up the oracle.

Step 6: Setting up Oracle

We will select Create and configure a single instance database. Because this is the basic option. Once we are familiar with the version. We can create multiple databases. Click Next

Step 7: Server Class

Choose Server Class because we are installing the oracle database on a server. Click Next.

Step 8: Database Edition.

Step 9: This is the Oracle base location. This is obtained from the bash_profile. Click Next.

Step 10: Below is the directory for Oracle Inventory. Click Next.

Step 11: We need to select General Purpose. Because we are installing the type of database for general type. Click Next.

Step 12: Database names.

Now, this is the global database. We have used jayadb.com. the Next column is SID keep it as jayadb. There is one pluggable database as well named jayapdb. So, we are going to create one main database and one pluggable database. Make sure you check the box Create as container database. Inside this container database, we use jayapdb as a pluggable database. You can choose any database name you required. But all the three columns should be similar. In the pluggable database add pdb, in the end, to identify it as a pluggable database. Click Next.

Step 13: In this step select the sample schemas tab and then tick the check box Install sample schemas in the database. Please tick this. We are going to install the hr schema. Click next.

Step 14: This is the file system. This is the location where data files are stored. Click Next.

Step 16: We are not selecting the recovery options as well. Click Next.

Step 17: Password for the users.

Select the second option “Use the same password for all accounts”. Now we are using the same password for ‘SYS’, ’SYSTEM’, and ’PDBADMIN’ users. The SYS is the super user for the oracle database. Click Next.

Note: Please don’t use @ symbol in the password.

After clicking next you may get the Popup saying the password is not following the oracle standards. You can ignore the popup and continue clicking yes.

Step 18: Leave the below options as it is. Click Next.

Step 19: Root Script Execution. Click Next
