Installing Oracle Database XE on Debian, Ubuntu, and Kubuntu by Todd Trichler What happens when you try to install Oracle Database XE Beta on a new Linux distribution? You learn a whole lot! Updated August 2007 - LinuxWorld Mexico Installfest In my day job I get to work with.rpm-based Linux distros quite a bit in the form of RHEL, SLES, and Asianux. Recently I noticed that the doc mentions support for Debian. My sum experience with this could best be described as vicarious, having never before installed Oracle on a.deb-based distro. What follows is one man's walk through the technical steps to install the beta of Oracle Database XE on Kubuntu 5.10 Breezy, a Linux distro based on the.deb package format and KDE. The lessons learned and suggestions also apply to Debian, Ubuntu, and other.deb distros.
If you are interested in the 'back story' about this journey from the various PHP developers and people who helped along the way, please read the. Rig of rods off road truck mod. Update (March 2006): With Oracle Database XE in production, it is even easier to install Oracle on Debian-based distros (thanks to Joel Becker).
As we all know Oracle database is the most popular and widely used Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) in the world. This post describes step by step installation of Oracle Database 11g Release 2 32bit on CentOS 6.4 32bit.The installation steps should not be vary on most of the Red Hat based Linux distributions. Installing Oracle Database 11g Release 2.

There is now an apt-get repository up on oss.oracle.com for XE. Just add: deb unstable main non-free to /etc/apt/sources.list and then: # wget -O- sudo apt-key add - # apt-get update # apt-get install oracle-xe 'libaio' and 'bc' are in the repository, so dependancies will pull them in if the user doesn't have them. (Note: You will need to 'sudo' or have 'root' privileges to install XE.) Catch-all disclaimer: These steps worked for me on my configuration; they might not work on yours. • an iso of Kubuntu Breezy version and burn an install disc.
• Do a standard install of Kubuntu. When prompted on the partioning choose 'Erase entire HD and use LVM'. • Do not set any of the kernel parameters because the latest beta versions of XE are supposed to check the parameters and increase them if neccessary. (Note: If you are using an older beta you will want to check those; better still, the latest version.) • Confirm that the pre-requisite (glibc and libaio equivalent) libraries are installed. On Kubuntu and Ubuntu they are called 'libc6' and 'libaio1'. (I used Adept, the new GUI package management tool, to install libaio1; libc6 was already installed.) As Wim Coekaerts described in his on the subject, currently you need to use Debian unstable to get the equivalent packages, but in the future with Debian sid they would just be included.
