Steps to Install the Oracle Database Security Assessment Tool

To install the DBSAT:

  1. Log in to the database server.

  2. Create the dbsat directory:

    mkdir –p /home/oracle/dbsat
  3. Download or copy the dbsat.zip file to the database server, and unzip the file.

    unzip dbsat.zip –d /home/oracle/dbsat, where -d refers to the directory path.

These commands are for Linux/Unix. If the installation takes place on Windows, you will use similar commands for Windows.

The DBSAT is installed on the database server.

You can run the Collector, Reporter, and Discoverer from the /home/oracle/dbsat directory.

You can also add this directory to your PATH and skip the step of going to the directory every time you want to run the tool.
