Prerequisite for Oracle 19c installation

The hardware requirement for Oracle 19c Installation is listed below.

  • Minimum 12 GB hard disk space required.
  • Minimum 2 GB RAM free.
  • SWAP 2GB (If RAM is between 2 GB and 16 GB, then 1 time the size of the RAM).

Download Oracle Database 19c software

You can download oracle database 19c software from OTN or Edelivery using the below link.

Note: Unzip the oracle software but remember where you unzip the oracle software that will be the default oracle home location. After unzipping the software it will not keep all the files in a single folder like 10g, 11g & 12c.

Oracle 19c Installation

Let's start the Oracle 19c database software installation step by step.

Create Oracle Home directory location.

Step 1. Login as root user and make directory oracle home directory.

#mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1

UNZIP the software

Step 2. Using unzip command unzip the database software inside the Oracle home location.

#cd /u02
#ls -l
LINUX.X64_193000_db_home

#unzip LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zip -d/u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1/

Setup Prerequisites Automatically

Step 3. If you want to setup prerequisites automatically then run the below command which is automatically setup all prerequisites.

Change the password for Oracle user

Step 4. The above command will create the oracle user also, so we need to change the password for oracle as per our convenience.

# passwd oracle
Changing password for user oracle.
New password:
BAD PASSWORD: The password is shorter than 8 characters
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

Grant privileges to ORACLE user

Step 5. We need to grant privileges on the Oracle home directory and oinstall group to oracle user.

#chmod -R 775 /u01
#chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01

Invoke runinstaller

Step 6. Login as an oracle user and execute the runinstaller.

$./runInstaller

Step 7. Select the setup software-only option, but if you want to create a database as well as then you can select the first option.

Step 8. Here we are going to install a single instance database.

Step 9. Chose Enterprise Edition option

Step 10. Browse oracle base location.

Step 11. Inventory Directory

Step 12. OS system groups privileged

Step 13. Root script execution - leave empty

Step 14. Oracle 19c installation prerequisite check

Step 15. If everything is running well in oracle 19c setup it is shown in below screen.

Step 16. After clicking on install the ORACLE 19c database software installation started.

Step 17. Execute the below scripts as the root user.

Execute orainstRoot.sh and root.sh as the root user.

[root@digital ~]# /u01/app/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh
Changing permissions of /u01/app/oraInventory.
Adding read,write permissions for group.
Removing read,write,execute permissions for world.

Changing groupname of /u01/app/oraInventory to oinstall.
The execution of the script is complete.
[root@digital ~]# 
[root@digital ~]# 
[root@digital ~]# 
[root@digital ~]# /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1/root.sh
Performing root user operation.

The following environment variables are set as:
    ORACLE_OWNER= oracle
    ORACLE_HOME=  /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1

Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]: 
   Copying dbhome to /usr/local/bin ...
   Copying oraenv to /usr/local/bin ...
   Copying coraenv to /usr/local/bin ...


Creating /etc/oratab file...
Entries will be added to the /etc/oratab file as needed by
Database Configuration Assistant when a database is created
Finished running generic part of root script.
Now product-specific root actions will be performed.
Oracle Trace File Analyzer (TFA - Standalone Mode) is available at :
    /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1/bin/tfactl

Note :
1. tfactl will use TFA Service if that service is running and user has been granted access
2. tfactl will configure TFA Standalone Mode only if user has no access to TFA Service or TFA is not installed

[root@digital ~]# 

Step 18. Finally, your 19c software installation was completed.

Test the Installation

Step 19. Check database installation is working.

[oracle@digital bin]$cd /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1/bin
[oracle@digital bin]$export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1/
[oracle@digital bin]$
[oracle@digital bin]$ ./sqlplus
