    1. Preparation
    2. Before starting installation, you should consider the following things:

      1. Prepare Installation CD-ROM
      2. Determine the Installation user name.
        The default name is oracle, and the user is automatically created by the Install Navigator for Oracle.
      3. Determine the Installation group name.
        The default name is "oinstall", and the group is automatically created by the Install Navigator for Oracle.
      4. Determine the Administration group name.
        The default name is "dba", and the group is automatically created by the Install Navigator for Oracle.
      5. Determine the Oracle SID.
        The default name is "orcl".
      6. Determine the Oracle Base.
        The default directory is "/opt/app/oracle".
      7. Determine the Oracle Home.
        The default directory is "/opt/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1".

    3. Check the Installation Requirements
    4. The system must meet the following minimum hardware requirements.

      Physical memory(RAM) 1024MB
      Disk space For software files:1.5GB - 3.5GB (depend on the oracle option products)
      For database files:1.6GB - 1.81GB (/tmp: 400MB)
      Swap space RAM = 1GB - 2GB : 1.5 times the size of RAM
      RAM = 2GB - 8GB : same size of RAM
      RAM = 8GB - more: 0.75 times the size of RAM

      Note:

      If there is less than 400 MB of disk space available in the /tmp directory, set the TEMP and TMPDIR environment variables to the oracle user environment. The Install Navigator for Oracle would unknowingly switch user from root to oracle, hence to set these environment variables for the root user's environment doesn't work at all this time.

      1. Create a directory that has more than 400MB free disk space.

        # mkdir /opt/tmp
        # chmod 1777 /opt/tmp

      2. Add the TEMP, TMPDIR environment variables to the oracle user's shell startup file(.bash_profile)

        export TEMP=/opt/tmp
        export TMPDIR=/opt/tmp


    5. Mount the Product Disc
    6. Log in and switch user to root. In order to mount the disc, enter a command similar to the following:

      $ su -
      # mount /mnt/cdrom


    7. Start the Install Navigator for Oracle
    8. To run Install Navigator for Oracle as the root user, Enter a command similar to the following:

      # oranavi
