- Introduction: Typically, Oracle Database software is installed using ./runInstaller with a graphical interface. In environments where a GUI is not available, silent installation provides an alternative. By using a response file that contains all necessary configuration details, the installation can run unattended without requiring any user interaction. In this article, we will do the silent installation of Oracle Binary, a database along with the Listener step by step. In addition we will also apply the RU 19.27 patch while installing the binary.
- Prerequisites: Below are the minimum requirements for Linux environment.
- OS : OLE 7.4/Red Hat 7.5.
- RAM:4GB .
- CPU: 2core.
- Disk Space: 30GB.
- Must have root user or sudo access.
- Download the 19c Binary, RU Patch & required OPatch from below link.
- Environment:
- Now let's proceed for the installation step by step:
Oracle RU 19.27 Patch on 19c Database

1. First we need to install the prerequistes for Oracle 19c. We can do it with two methods Automatic & Manual.
Automatic setup: It will take care of all RPM installation, changes in configuration file & "Oracle" user creation along with groups.
