Library setup for Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.5 for 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 for configuration libraries for an Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.5 installation in preparation for installation of Oracle 12c RDBMS.
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. Logon to your Linux VM as the root user.
3. Change directory to your yum repository with command: “cd /etc/yum.repos.d”
[root@oel65 ~]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
[root@oel65 yum.repos.d]#
4. Extract the repository from the oracle public yum website with the command: “wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo”
[root@OEL65 yum.repos.d]# wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo

[root@OEL65 yum.repos.d]#
5. Edit the yum repo file with appropriate values with the following perl command: “perl -pi.bak -e ‘s/enabled=0/enabled=1/g’ /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol6.repo”
[root@OEL65 yum.repos.d]# perl -pi.bak -e ‘s/enabled=0/enabled=1/g’ /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol6.repo
[root@OEL65 yum.repos.d]#
6. Download necessary RPM file from oracle with command: “wget –no-check-certificate https://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol6 -O /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle”
[root@OEL65 yum.repos.d]# wget –no-check-certificate https://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol6 -O /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle
