Oracle: Installing Oracle 10g on Linux
Note: This article is intended to provide you an overview of the installation process. Please do not use this as reference for installing a production system. These instructions are purely for educational purpose only.
- Login to your Linux workstation using the primary account you created during install. (in my case it is geeko)
- Download the Oracle software to your Linux http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/oracle11g/index.html
- Install and configure the necessary packages/libraries

- logout and login again as oracle then open the .bashrc in your home (/home.oracle) and add following lines. (Change the ORACLE_SID from ORADBA to any other name of your choice but limit to 8 characters- thats your DB name)
export ORACLE_BASE=/home/oracle/product
export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/product/10.2.0
export ORACLE_SID=ORADBA
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch
- logout and login again as oracle, then copy the software tar file to /export/oracle
unzip 10201_database_linux32.zip (This will create a directory called database in current directory)
cd database
./runInstaller
This should bring up the installer for you.
