Install Oracle 19c RAC Software and Create CDB Database

Define ORACLE_HOME and create ORACLE_HOME directory

[oracle@racnode1 ~]$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1
[oracle@racnode1 ~]$ mkdir -p $ORACLE_HOME

Unzip oracle database binary into ORACLE_HOME

[oracle@racnode1 19c]$ unzip LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zip -d $ORACLE_HOME

Run runInstaller as oracle owner

Please note the “runInstaller” script is under $ORACLE_HOME, not the one under $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin.

[oracle@racnode1 ~]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME
[oracle@racnode1 dbhome_1]$ ./runInstaller
