Unlike some databases (working ones) which have a command line installation (DB2) or are installed as a service (PostegreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL and others) Oracle is little noisy queen when it comes to installation GUI installation. So in order to save a lot of dead neurons, here is a easy way how you can install silent Software ONLY:
[oracle@tbp-mts-odb01 database]$ ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs -ignorePrereq -waitforcompletion -showProgress -silent \
> -responseFile /home/oracle/database/response/orainstall_se_response.rsp \
> oracle.install.option=INSTALL_DB_SWONLY \
> ORACLE_HOSTNAME=${ORACLE_HOSTNAME} \
> UNIX_GROUP_NAME=oinstall \
> INVENTORY_LOCATION=/app/oracle/oraInventory \
> SELECTED_LANGUAGES=en,en_GB \
> ORACLE_HOME=/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1 \
> ORACLE_BASE=/app/oracle \
> oracle.install.db.InstallEdition=SE \
> oracle.install.db.DBA_GROUP=oinstall \
> oracle.install.db.OPER_GROUP=oinstall \
> oracle.install.db.BACKUPDBA_GROUP=oinstall \
> oracle.install.db.DGDBA_GROUP=oinstall \
> oracle.install.db.KMDBA_GROUP=oinstall \
> SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_MYORACLESUPPORT=false \
> DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=true
