1 Reviewing Information About This Guide

This guide describes how to complete a default installation of Oracle Database Client

on a system that does not have any Oracle software installed on it. It describes how to

install one of the following installation types:

■ Administrator: Enables applications to connect to an Oracle Database instance on

the local system or on a remote system. It also provides tools that enable you to

administer Oracle Database.

■ Runtime: Enables applications to connect to an Oracle Database instance on the

local system or on a remote system.

■ Instant Client: Enables you to install only the shared libraries required by Oracle

Call Interface (OCI), Oracle C++ Call Interface (OCCI), Pro*C, or Java database

connectivity (JDBC) OCI applications. This installation type requires much less

disk space as compared to the other Oracle Database Client installation types.

See Also: Oracle Call Interface Programmer's Guide for more

information about Instant Client

1. Start the X server software. 2. Configure the security settings of the X server software to permit remote hosts to display X applications on the local system. 3. Connect to the remote system where you want to install the software and start a terminal session on that system, for example, an X terminal (xterm). 4.

■ To determine whether the system architecture can run the software, enter the following command: # grep "model name" /proc/cpuinfo This command displays the processor type. Verify that the processor architecture matches the Oracle software release to install. If you do not see the expected output, then you cannot install the software on this system.

# df -k /tmp If there is less than 400 MB of free disk space available in the /tmp directory, then complete one of the following steps: ■ ■ Delete unnecessary files from the /tmp directory to meet the disk space requirement. Set the TMP and TMPDIR environment variables when setting the oracle user’s environment. See Also: "Configuring the oracle User’s Environment for more information about setting TMP and TMPDIR ■ ■ Extend the file system that contains the /tmp directory.

Starting with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2), all 32-bit packages, except for gcc-32bit-4.3, listed in this section are no longer required for installing a database on Linux x86-64. Only the 64-bit packages are required. However, for any Oracle Database 11g release before 11.2.0.2, both the 32-bit and 64-bit packages listed in this section are required. Note: However, when you install the 32-bit client binaries on 64-bit ports, the installer checks for the existence of 32-bit packages.

inst_group=oinstall The inst_group parameter shows the name of the Oracle Inventory group, oinstall. 2. If necessary, enter the following commands to create the oinstall group: # /usr/sbin/groupadd oinstall 3. To determine whether the oracle user exists and belongs to the correct groups, enter the following command: # id oracle If the oracle user exists, then this command displays information about the groups to which the user belongs.

on your computer. Select the oraInventory Group Name of the operating system group that should own the Oracle Inventory directory (the Oracle Inventory group), and click Next. Note: By default, the Oracle Inventory directory is not installed under the Oracle Base directory. This is because all Oracle software installations share a common Oracle Inventory, so there is only one Oracle Inventory for all users, whereas there is a separate Oracle Base for each user. 8.
