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

      CPU PentiumIII 450MHz
      Physical memory(RAM) Java Developer Topology:512MB
      Portal and Wireless Developer:1GB
      OracleAS Infrastructure 10g:1GB
      Disk space Java Developer Topology:520MB
      Portal and Wireless Developer:1.1GB
      OracleAS Infrastructure 10g:2.5GB
      Space in /tmp Java Developer Topology:250MB
      Portal and Wireless Developer:250MB
      OracleAS Infrastructure 10g:250MB
      Swap space Java Developer Topology:1.5GB
      Portal and Wireless Developer:1.5GB
      OracleAS Infrastructure 10g:1.5GB
      JDK Prepackaged JDK1.4.2

      Note:

      If there is less than 250 MB of disk space available in the /tmp directory, set the TEMP and TMPDIR environment variables to the oracle user”Ēs environment.

      1. Create a directory that have less than 250MB free disk space.

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