Of course, a user account and appropriate groups are required before Oracle software can
be installed. The following commands (run as root) will set up the oracle user, as well as
the oinstall and dba groups (the dba group is only required for the Metadata Repository
server):
# groupadd -g 701 dba
# groupadd -g 700 oinstall
# useradd -c "Oracle software owner" -u 700 -g oinstall -G dba oracle
# passwd oracle password
