2. Hardware requirement

1. General Server Minimum Requirements Server should be started in runlevel 3 or runlevel 5.

Server display cards provide at least 1024 x 768 display resolution.

2. Disk Space Requirements on Linux x86-64 Disk Space for Enterprise Edition Installation type is 6.4 GB

1 GB of space in the /tmp directory on your Linux system.

3. Server Memory Minimum Requirements Ensure that your system meets the following memory requirements:

Minimum: 1 GB of RAM

Recommended: 2 GB of RAM or moreSwap Space Requirement for Linux

1. If RAM size is between 1 GB to 2 GB then Swap space should be 1.5 times of the RAM

2. If RAM size is between 2 GB to 16 GB then Swap space should be equal to the

size of the RAM

3. If RAM size is more than 16 GB then Swap space should be 16 GB3. Install Prerequisi tes packages

1. Open a command prompt by pressing CTRL + ALT + t and run following command as

a root / root equivalent user to downloads the package lists from the repositories and updates them to get information on the newest versions of packages and their

dependencies. It will do this for all repositories and PPAs.sudo apt-get update

2. Run following command to handle changing dependencies with new versions of

packages.sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

3. Restart machine by running following commandsudo r eboot - - r eboot

4. Again run dist-upgrade to check if there is any new versions of packagessudo apt-get dist-upgrade

5. Run following command to install dependenciessudo apt-get - y install al i en bi nut i l s bui l d- essent i al \

cpp- 4. 4 debhel per g++- 4. 4 gawk gcc- 4. 4 gcc- 4. 4- base \

4. Creating Required Operating System Groups and Users


3/43



1. Run following command as root/ root equivalent user to create required Operating

System groups and userssudo addgr oup oi nst al l

sudo addgr oup dba

sudo addgr oup nobody

sudo user mod - g nobody nobody

sudo useradd - g oi ns tal l - G dba - p passwor d - d /home/or acl e - s /bi n/ bash or acl e

sudo mkdir /home/or acl e

sudo chown - R oracl e: dba /home/or acl e

sudo mkdir - p /u01/app/or acl esudo mkdir - p /u01/bi nari es

sudo chown - R oracl e: dba /u01

2. Set the password for the oracle user which we have created for installation purposesudo passwd or acl e

5. Configuring Kernel Parameters and Resource Limits1. Make ourself as Red Hat by running following command as root/ root equivalent user

echo ' Red Hat Li nux r el ease 6' | sudo tee - a /et c/r edhat - r el ease

2. We need to create some soft links to start the installation. To do so run the following

commands as root/ root equivalent user,sudo mkdir /usr /l i b64

sudo ln - s /et c /et c/r c . d

sudo ln - s /l i b/x86_64- l i nux- gnu/l i bgcc_s. so. 1 /l i b64/

sudo ln - s /usr /bi n/awk /bi n/awk

sudo ln - s /usr /bi n/ basename /bi n/ basename

sudo ln - s /usr /bi n/r pm /bi n/r pm

sudo ln - s /usr /l i b/x86_64- l i nux- gnu/l i bc_nonshar ed. a /usr /l i b64/

sudo ln - s /usr /l i b/x86_64- l i nux- gnu/l i bpt hr ead_nonshar ed. a /usr /l i b64/

sudo ln - s /usr /l i b/x86_64- l i nux- gnu/l i bst dc++. so. 6 /l i b64/

sudo ln - s /usr /l i b/x86_64- l i nux- gnu/l i bst dc++. so. 6 /usr /l i b64/

3. To change the shell configuration for oracle user run following commands as root/ root

equivalent user sudo cp /et c/securi t y/l i mi ts . conf /et c/securi t y/l i mi ts . conf . or i gi nal

echo "#Or acl e 12C shel l l i mi t s: " | sudo tee - a /et c/securi t y/l i mi t s . conf

echo "oracl e sof t npr oc 2048" | sudo tee - a /et c/securi ty/l i mi t s . conf

echo "oracl e har d nproc 16384"| sudo tee - a /et c/securi ty/l i mi t s . conf

echo "oracl e sof t nof i l e 1024" | sudo tee - a /et c/securi t y/l i mi t s . conf

echo "oracl e hard nof i l e 65536" | sudo tee - a /et c/securi t y/l i mi t s . conf

4. Run following command to change the kernel parameters as root/ root equivalent user.echo "#" | sudo tee - a /et c/sysct l . conf

echo "# Or acl e 12C ent r i es" | sudo tee - a /et c/sysct l . conf

echo " f s. ai o- max- nr=1048576" | sudo tee - a /et c/sysct l . conf

echo " f s. f i l e- max=6815744" | sudo tee - a /et c/sysct l . conf

echo "kernel . shmal l =2097152" | sudo tee - a /et c/sysct l . conf

echo "ker nel . shmmni =4096" | sudo tee - a /et c/sysct l . conf

echo "ker nel . sem=250 32000 100 128" | sudo tee - a /et c/sysct l . conf

echo "net. i pv4. i p_l ocal _por t _r ange=9000 65500" | sudo tee - a /et c/sysct l . conf

echo "net . cor e. r mem_def aul t =262144" | sudo tee - a /et c/sysct l . conf

echo "net . cor e. r mem_max=4194304" | sudo tee - a /et c/sysct l . conf

echo "net . cor e. wmem_def aul t =262144" | sudo tee - a /et c/sysct l . conf

echo "net . cor e. wmem_max=1048586" | sudo tee - a /et c/sysct l . conf

echo "ker nel . shmmax=1073741824" | sudo tee - a /et c/sysct l . conf

Note: kernel.shmmax = max possible value, e.g. size of physical memory in bytes. In

21. At around 59% during Link binaries you will see an error as Error in invoking target ‘all_no_orcl’ of makefile

In the log file observed following line

Now see the linking again

Also we need to do changes in ins_rdbms.mk file

Take a backup of

/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk by running

following command

cp - r i p /u01/app/or acl e/product /12. 1. 0/dbhome_1/r dbms/l i b/i ns_r dbms. mk

Open /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk and

search for Linking password utility (orapwd), you will see following lines

Now change it to as follows. Note that you need to add -lnnz12 after

$(ORAPWD_LINKLINE)

Also we need to do changes in ins_rdbms.mk file


search for Link ing HS OTS agent,

Now change it to as follows. Note that you need to add -lagtsh after

$(HSOTS_LINKLINE)

Further you need to do changes in

/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk file.

First take the backup of file using following command

cp - r i p /u01/app/or acl e/product /12. 1. 0/dbhome_1/r dbms/l i b/env_r dbms. mk

/u01/app/or acl e/product/12. 1. 0/dbhome_1/r dbms/l i b/env_r dbms. mk. or i gi nal

Now open /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk

using file editor and search for HSOTS_LINKLINE. You will see following lines in the

Open /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/rdbms/lib /env_rdbms.mk and

search for HSDEPXA_LINKLINE.

You will see following lines in the file.

Please note that you need to run these commands through oracle user.

Thanks admin very much. all problems were solved now . Very very useful.

Thanks John

I keep getting an “Invalid Entry CRC” at 17% when copying the files. I did a cksum on the

.zip files and they match the checksum that Oracle has posted when downloading the files. I have also tried re-downloading the files (and performed another cksum to make

sure), but same thing. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks it worked like a charm !!

thanks for that great thing!

Thanks so much for posting this – I spent a week trying to install 12c on a new MacBook

Pro (2015 model) as a VM with no success (same VM copied from an older iMac works

perfectly on the iMac).

https://community.oracle.com/thread/3720393?start=0&tstart=0

So I installed Ubuntu last night as a VM (using the install option in Parallels), and with the

help of your article, just successfully installed 12c.

Hi,

It is mentioned in step 8 that the one has to be logged in as an Oracle user. Can you

please let me know how this is done?

Thanks, Shruthi

Hello,

This is probably the best website for Oracle 12c installation on Ubuntu. I have the 14.04

LTS version of Ubuntu, and these steps worked like a charm! Thank you very much for

the detailed explanations and screenshots, and more importantly, the steps for the

resolution of the many errors.

Wonderful job, team Techienote!

Best wishes,

Shruthi

I got the “clsCredInit” missing symbol, too, but it wouldn’t go away until I added the last

two libraries:

ASMCLNT_LIBS=$(LLIBASMCLNT) $(LLIBCOMMON) $(LLIBSAGE) $(LLIBSKGXP) \

$(LLIBGENERIC) -lhasgen12 -locr12
