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 may have to shut down existing Oracle processes before you start the database installation.

  • 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.
