Installing the Oracle Database Software

These topics explain how to run Oracle Universal Installer to perform most database installations.

Note:

• If you plan to use Oracle Restart or Oracle ASM, then you must install Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone server before you install and create the database. Otherwise, you must manually register the database with Oracle Restart.

• You can install Oracle Database by using the silent or response file installation method, without the GUI. This method is useful to perform multiple installations of Oracle Database.

• Setup Wizard Installation Options for Creating Images
  Gold image-creation options to use with your Oracle Database or Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation setup wizards.
• Applying Patches During an Oracle Database Installation or Upgrade
  Starting with Oracle Database 18c, you can download and apply Release Updates (RUs) during an Oracle Database installation or upgrade.
• Running Oracle Database Setup Wizard to Install Oracle Database
  Extract the database image files and use the runInstaller command to start the installation.
