-- close all open terminal windows and open new ones $ set -- validate the environment Database Software-Only Installation
After unzipping the installation files change to the directory containing runInstaller You must be the oracle user (not root) and you must verify your shell is set correctly

Step 1: Choose the Software Only install option

Step 2: For a standalone database choose the first option. For a RAC cluster the second

Step 3: Accept the default

Step 4A: Accept the default. Before selecting "Next" examine the "Select Options" choices

Step 4B: Review the "Select Options" Choices

Step 5: Accept the defaults ... they are based on the environment variables set in your shell

Step 6: Accept the default

Step 7: Accept the defaults

Step 8: This is a typical result if you didn't read and follow the docs.
