Oracle Database 19c Installation On Oracle Linux 7 (OL7): In this article describes the installation of Oracle Database 19c 64-bit on Oracle Linux 7 (OL7) 64-bit. The article is based on a server installation with a minimum of 2G swap and secure Linux set to permissive. An example of this type of Linux installation can be seen here.

Download Software :
Download the Oracle software from OTN or MOS depending on your support status.
OTN: Oracle Universal Installations (OUI) Silent Installations
Hosts File :
The “/etc/hosts” file must contain a fully qualified name for the server.
[root@orakldba ~]# hostname
orakldba.localdomain
[root@orakldba ~]#
[root@orakldba ~]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
192.159.0.112 orakldba.localdomain orakldba
Oracle Installation Prerequisites :
Perform either the Automatic Setup or the Manual Setup to complete the basic prerequisites. The Additional Setup is required for all installations.
Automatic Setup:
commands must run on root user.
yum search preinstall
yum install oracle-database-preinstall-19c.x86_64 -y
It is probably worth doing a full update as well, but this is not strictly speaking necessary.
yum update -y
If you are using RHEL7 or CentOS7, you can pick up the PRM from the OL7 repository and install it. It will pull the dependencies from your normal repositories.
yum install -y https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/latest/x86_64/getPackage/oracle-database-preinstall-19c-1.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
Manual Setup:
If you have not used the “oracle-database-preinstall-19c” package to perform all prerequisites, you will need to manually perform the following setup tasks.
Add the following lines to the “/etc/sysctl.conf“ file, or in a file called “/etc/sysctl.d/98-oracle.conf”.
fs.file-max = 6815744
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.shmall = 1073741824
kernel.shmmax = 4398046511104
kernel.panic_on_oops = 1
net.core.rmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 1048576
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 2
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 2
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
Then run this following commands as root user :
/sbin/sysctl –p
Or
/sbin/sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/98-oracle.conf
Add the following lines to this file “/etc/security/limits.d/oracle-database-server-12cR2-preinstall.conf“.
oracle soft nofile 1024
oracle hard nofile 65536
oracle soft nproc 16384
oracle hard nproc 16384
oracle soft stack 10240
oracle hard stack 32768
oracle hard memlock 134217728
oracle soft memlock 134217728
The following packages are listed as required. Many of the packages should be installed already.

yum install -y compat-libcap1
yum install -y compat-libstdc++-33
yum install -y dtrace-modules

groupadd -g 54321 oinstall
groupadd -g 54322 dba
groupadd -g 54323 oper
useradd -u 54321 -g oinstall -G dba,oper oracle
Set the password for the “oracle” user.
passwd oracle
Additional Setup:
The following steps must be performed, whether you did the manual or automatic setup.
Set secure Linux to disabled by editing the “/etc/selinux/config” file.
SELINUX=permissive
Once the change is complete, restart the server or run the following command as ‘root’ user.
setenforce Permissive
If you have the Linux firewall enabled, you will need to stop and disable it.
- run this following commands as root user :
- systemctl stop firewalld
- systemctl disable firewalld
Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed.
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
chmod -R 775 /u01
Unless you are working from the console, or using SSH tunnelling, login as root and issue the following command.
xhost + <machine-name>
Add the following lines at the end of the “/home/oracle/.bash_profile” file.
# Oracle Settings
export TMP=/tmp
export TMPDIR=$TMP
export ORACLE_HOSTNAME=orakldba.localdomain
export ORACLE_UNQNAME=ORCL
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1
export ORA_INVENTORY=/u01/app/oraInventory
export ORACLE_SID=ORCL
export PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib
export CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib
After settings done on .bash_profile run :
[oracle@orakldba ~]$
[oracle@orakldba ~]$ . ./.bash_profile
[oracle@orakldba ~]$
Unzip software :
unzip -o /u01/LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zip -d /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1/
Installation:
Log into the oracle user. If you are using X emulation then set the DISPLAY environmental variable.
DISPLAY=<machine-name>:0.0; export DISPLAY
Start the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) by issuing the following command in the database directory.
[oracle@orakldba ~]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1/
[oracle@orakldba dbhome_1]$ ./runInstaller
