This Article shows you how to use the Oracle Universal
Installer (OUI) to install the Oracle Database 12c software and create a non
cdb database. In addition to this it shows you how to use the Database
Configuration Assistant (DBCA) to create additional databases.
OUI performs several automated checks to ensure that
your computer fulfills the basic hardware and software requirements for an
Oracle Database installation. If your computer does not meet a requirement,
then an error message is displayed. The requirements may vary depending upon
the type of computer and operating system you are using. IN addition to that we
should always check the oracle installation Document for more information.
Prerequisites
A. Hardware Requirements
The following are the minimum hardware requirements to
properly install Oracle Database 12c on a x86_64 system:
• Minimum of 1 GB of RAM for the installation of both
Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle Database, however 2 GB of memory or more
is recommended
• Minimum of 1 Network Interface Card (NIC), however 2
NICs are recommended for high availability (HA) as used in the reference
environment
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x Server x86_64 with
kernel 2.6.32-71 or higher
• Console access that supports 1024 x 768 resolution to
ensure correct display of Oracle's Universal Installer (OUI).

To improve
the performance of the software on Linux systems, you must increase the
following shell limits for the oracle user:
Add the

nofile 1024
oracle hard
nofile 65536
oracle soft
nproc 2047
oracle hard

Set secure
Linux to permissive by editing the "/etc/selinux/config" file, making
sure the SELINUX flag is set as follows.
SELINUX=permissiveOnce
the change is complete, restart the server or run the following command.

As per
OFA, oracle base directory has the path: /mount_point/app/oracle_sw_owner
where, mount_point is the mount point directory for the file system that will
contain the Oracle software. I have used /u01 for the mount point directory.
However, you could choose another mount point directory,such as /oracle or
/opt/oracle.
oracle_sw_owner
is the operating system user name of the Oracle software owner, for example
oracle.
[root@#
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
[root@#
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
[root@#
mkdir -p /u02/oradata/db102
[root@#
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u02/oradata/db102
[root@#
chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle
[root@#
chmod -R 775 /u02/oradata/db102
