1. Overview
For the purpose of education and evaluation only, we provide a walkthrough ofinstalling Oracle Database 11g Release 2 on Linux. We take the approach ofusing minimum number of steps for accomplishing this installation. Note thatthis guide does not cover the installation of the Linux operating system.
This guide assumes a server with the following hardware requirements:
A single CPU,1024 Mb of RAM,and one disk drive (IDE, SCSI, or FireWire) with at least 7 Gb of freespace:
1024 Mb of disk space in the /tmp directory,
3.8 Gb of local disk space for the database software,
and about 1.5 Gb of swap disk space.
This procedure is based on Metalink Note: 880936.1: Requirements forInstalling Oracle 11gR2 RDBMS on RHEL (and OEL) 5 on 32-bit x86

As preliminary step, let us verify the prerequisites for installing Oracle 11gR2RDBMS:
Required kernel version:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5.2 (or greater), which is Kernel2.6.18-92 or ewer.
Required packages versions:
C.f. Oracle Metalink Note: 880936.1
Swap Disk Space Considerations:
Installing Oracle Database 11g Release 2 requires a minimum of1024Mb of memory. Swap disk space should be proportional to thesystem’s physical memory:
With RAM as 1024 Mb to 2048 Mb, Swap Disk Space should be 1.5 xRAM
To check the amount of memory we have:
$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal
MemTotal: 1048576 kB
To check the amount of swap space we have allocated:
$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep SwapTotal
SwapTotal: 1572864 kB
2. Configuring Linux for the Installation ofOracle Database 11g Release 2
This section walks through the steps required to configure Linux for installingOracle Database 11g Release 2. These steps are written for Bourne, Korn andbash shells.Firstly, open a terminal window and login as the root user.
2.1 Setting Kernel Parameters
The kernel parameters presented in this section are recommended values asdocumented by Oracle Metalink note 880936.1.

i. Setting Shared Memory
Setting SHMMAX
We can determine the value of SHMMAX by performing the following:
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
536870912
Should you need to alter the default setting for SHMMAX without rebooting themachine:
$ sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=536870912
Should you need to make this change permanent, insert the kernel parameter inthe /etc/sysctl.conf startup file:
3. Oracle De-install Utility (11.2.0.1.0) for Linux x86
linux_11gR2_deinstall.zip (124,457,540 bytes)
As the “oracle” user account, we extracted the three downloaded packages to atemporary directory.
We used “/home/oracle/wkdir/11gr2″.
$ su – oracle
$ mkdir -p /home/oracle/wkdir/11gr2
$ cd /home/oracle/wkdir/11gr2
$ unzip linux_11gR2_database_1of2.zip
$ unzip linux_11gR2_database_2of2.zip
Installing the Oracle Database 11gR2 software procedurestep-by step:
$ cd /home/oracle/wkdir/11gr2
$ cd database
$ ./runInstaller
