This post talks about Installation of Oracle Database on Oracle Linux 8. Here I am running a Virtual Machine creating using Virtual Box and have installed OL8 on it. Also, I am going with Oracle Database 19c version as it's one of the latest version which is being used in the market as of now.
If you also want to see how I have configured the VM on virtual box, please comment below and I'll create one post for that as well.
So let's start.
1) Check if hostname is properly configured
hostnamectl set-hostname oravm19c.practice.com
2) Check if '/etc/hosts' files is properly configured with IP and fully qualified name.
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
192.168.29.67 oravm19c.practice.com oravm19c
3) Install prerequisites as shown below. This one command reduces your manual efforts and get the job done for you.

4) Change password for Oracle User.
[root@localhost ~]# 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.
5) Set Secure Linux to permissive in '/etc/selinux/config' as shown below.
[root@localhost ~]# vi /etc/selinux/config
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=permissive
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these three values:
# targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
# minimum - Modification of targeted policy. Only selected processes are protected.
# mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
6) Enforce the changes using.
[root@localhost ~]# setenforce Permissive
7) Disable Firewall.
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl stop firewalld
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl disable firewalld
Removed /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/firewalld.service.
Removed /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.service.
[root@localhost ~]#
8) Create the directories for Oracle Installation and change ownership/permissions.
[root@localhost ~]# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1
[root@localhost ~]# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
[root@localhost ~]# chmod -R 775 /u01
9) Open DISPLAY access for all users.
[root@localhost ~]# xhost +
10) Configure environment in bash profile as shown below.
[root@localhost ~]# vi /home/oracle/.bash_profile
# Oracle Settings
export TMP=/tmp
export TMPDIR=$TMP
export ORACLE_HOSTNAME=oravm19c.practice.com
export ORACLE_UNQNAME=cdb1
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1
export ORA_INVENTORY=/u01/app/oraInventory
export ORACLE_SID=cdb1
export PDB_NAME=pdb1
export DATA_DIR=$ORACLE_BASE/oradata
export PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib
export CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib
11) Switch to ORACLE user and change directory to ORACLE_HOME, then unzip the Oracle Software as shown below.
Note: Ensure the zip file is reachable and it must be unzipped to ORACLE_HOME.
[root@localhost ~]# su - oracle
[oracle@oravm19c app]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME
[oracle@oravm19c dbhome_1]$ unzip -oq /u01/app/LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zip
12) Run installer
[oracle@oravm19c dbhome_1]$ ./runInstaller
Launching Oracle Database Setup Wizard...
13) If OS Prerequisite check fails. Fix using below,
[oracle@oravm19c dbhome_1]$ export CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL7.6 and run again... [oracle@oravm19c dbhome_1]$ ./runInstaller Launching Oracle Database Setup Wizard...
14) Follow the next steps as shown in the below snapshots.
Note: These snapshots only covers the Oracle Software Installation part.
Run the 2 scripts via ROOT in defined sequence when prompt comes,
[root@localhost ~]# /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@localhost ~]# /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
At this point, Oracle Software has been successfully installed.
I hope this helps !!
