Preinstallation Considerations for Installing Oracle Database

The Oracle Database software is available on the installation media or you can download it from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) website.

In most cases, Oracle Universal Installer provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to install the software. However, you can also use Oracle Universal Installer without the GUI by supplying a response file with silent or response file mode.

Note:

Windows requires Administrator privileges at the command prompt.
