Use the following procedure to install Oracle Linux with the Oracle validated software package.

1. On a Windows workstation, launch Internet Explorer and log in to the Oracle software delivery website.

2. Select and download the Oracle Linux version required for the x86 64 bit platform (see ASAP Compatibility Matrix).

3. Install Oracle Linux on an x86 64 bit platform.

4. Select default installation options until you reach the page where you get the option to customize your installation. Select the Customize now, and click Next.

5. Select Base System from the left menu.

6. Select System Tools from the right menu.

7. Click Optional packages.

8. Select the Oracle Validated RPM package from the package list, and click Next.

   This package provides the following features:

   • Preconfigured Oracle Linux kernel configuration, suitable for the Oracle database. These kernel configuration attributes are sufficient for an ASAP demonstration system; however, for a production environment or test system, configure your kernel parameters as described in "Setting Linux Kernel Parameters."

   • All Oracle packages required to install and run the Oracle database software.

   • Preconfigured Oracle database user and groups for database installation.

9. Click Close.

10. Click Next and continue the installation process.

11. During the Oracle Linux configuration process, select the following options:

    • Enable the firewall and set SSH, Telnet, and FTP as trusted protocols.

    • Set SELinux to Permissive.

    • Check Enable Network Time Protocol in the Network Time Protocol tab.

Use the following procedure to prepare your Oracle Linux environment. The steps described in this procedure include:

• Installing the JDK for WebLogic Server

• Creating a symbolic link to the JDK from Mozilla Firefox to enable the Java plugin

• Creating an ASAP user and group

• Configuring a host name for your installation in the /etc/hosts file

• Creating the directories for your Oracle Database installation

• Configuring the Oracle user .bashrc file

To prepare the Linux environment:

1. Log in to Oracle Linux as root.

2. For more information about the compatible versions, refer to the ASAP Compatibility Matrix.

3. Change the permissions on the Java installation file:

   chmod a+x jdk_install_file
   

   Where jdk_install_file is the Java installation file.

4. Move the file to a system-wide location such as /usr/local. For example:

   mv jdk_install_file /usr/local
   

5. From the new location, install Java SE.

   ./jdk_install_file
   

6. Create a symbolic link from the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory to Java_home /jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so file (where Java_home is the location where you installed the JDK) to enable the Java plugin for Mozilla Firefox. For example:

   cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
   ln -s /usr/local/jdk1.8.x/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so 
   

7. Create an ASAP user and group as described in "Configuring a UNIX ASAP Group and User."

8. Determine the IP address for your platform.

   ifconfig
   

9. Edit the /etc/hosts file and provide a host name for your IP address. For example:

   # Do not remove the following line, or various programs
   # that require network functionality will fail.
   127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost loopback
   ::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
   10.156.53.74 testsystem.oracle.us.com testsystem loghost
   

10. Create and assign permissions to folders in preparation to install your Oracle database. For example:

    mkdir -p /u01/app/
    chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/
    chmod -R 775 /u01/app/
    mkdir /u01/app/oradata /u01/app/fast_recovery_area
    chown oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oradata/u01/app/fast_recovery_area
    chmod 755 /u01/app/oradata /u01/app/fast_recovery_area
    

11. Edit the Oracle user's .bashrc system setup file using a text editor such as gedit or vi. This example provides common Oracle database environment variables and paths:

    # .bashrc
     
    # Source global definitions
    if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
    . /etc/bashrc
    fi
     
    # User specific aliases and functions
    export ORACLE_SID=ASAP
    export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.3/dbhome_1
    PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.3/dbhome_1/bin/
    export PATH
     
    umask 022

To download the ASAP installation files use the procedure described in "Downloading the ASAP Installation Files" with the following exceptions:

• Log in to your Oracle Linux workstation with your asap user account.

• Download the file directly to your Oracle Linux workstation.

• For this demonstration system, create a new directory called asapinstaller in the /home/asap directory and extract the ASAP installation files in this directory. For example:

  cd /home/asap
  mkdir asapinstaller
  mv ASAP.R7_4_1.Bxxx.linux.tar asapinstaller/
  cd asapinstaller
  tar -xvf ASAP.R7_4_1.Bxxx.linux.tar
