Configuring Oracle YUM Repository
The yum repository should be configured in order to download and install any oracle library, if you don't want to search for the libraries one by one. To configure library you have to:
- Download the repository
- Configure the GPG Key
- Choose your package
Download the repository
The repository can be downloaded used the following syntax:
wget http://yum.oracle.com/public-yum-release.repo wget http://yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo ol6 = Oracle Linux 6
Configure GPG key
The GPG key is needed and can be downloaded from:
cd /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/ wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol7 Older versions http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol6 http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-el5 http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-el4
Choose your package
Oracle Libraries sometimes can come hard to find. That is why Oracle created the pre-install packages, which contains the entire set of libraries needed. Currently there are the following preinstall packages:
yum -y install oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall yum -y install oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall yum -y install oracle-database-server-12cR2-preinstall
