Part 9 – Building Oracle 12c development suite.
Media packages required for installation of Oracle RDBMS 12c

Oracle Corporation provides the ability for developers to create a complete development suite on their personal windows desktop or laptop without requiring the expensive equipment required for a true production system. This article outlines the process of downloading the media required for installation of Oracle 12c RDBMS in a RHEL 6.5 environment.
NOTE: This process can be used for most Linux installations, regardless of original company or organization providing the base Linux OS.

1. Logon to your Windows desktop/laptop as an administrator and open Oracle VirtualBox.
2. Open an internet browser and download the following files from www.oracle.com and place them in the directory /opt/app/oracle_software.

3. Change directory to /opt/app/oracle_software with the command “cd /opt/app/oracle_software”

[root@OEL65 ~]# cd /opt/app/oracle_software/
[root@OEL65 oracle_software]#

4. Extract the zip files with the following command: “find . -name “*.zip” -exec unzip {} \;”

[root@OEL65 oracle_software]# find . -name “*.zip” -exec unzip {} \;
[root@OEL65 oracle_software]#

5. NOTE: This is a base version of the software and requires additional patches to bring it to current date.
6. This completes the setup of the VM network.
