Hi is it possible to install

oracle-database-xe-18c on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15.

I find only rpm which require Redhat

I try instll from rpm

How it is describe in:

https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/18/xeinl/procedure-installing-oracle-database-xe.html

rpm -i oracle-database-xe-18c-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm

varování: oracle-database-xe-18c-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm: Hlavička V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID ec551f03: NOKEY

chyba: Selhalé závislosti:

    oracle-database-preinstall-18c je potřeba pro oracle-database-xe-18c-1.0-1.x86_64

But

oracle-database-preinstall-18c

require

/etc/redhat-release

Is there some possibility how to install oracle-database-xe-18c on  SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15

Thank You

The XE edition is certified on Red-Hat compatible versions of linux:

My system is completely  setup on SLES OS  (RedHat Is not there used). Is it some possibility to run Oracle  18c no SLES 15.
There is other rpm manger and other repository then in RedHat.  Previous version of  oracle what we use waa 12 now we want upgrade system and  test version 18c

Ti is not problem to install all depandence  but I need setup instruction for SLES. Way to emulate  resource RedHa on SLES, i thing is not correct way how to proceed.

Is there some setup without  rmp installation?

Thx

There is no other setup that I'm aware of...

You may want to try with a VM (Virtualbox) with Oracle Linux (it is a free Red Had compatible version) and then install XE there..

With the following steps I got XE installed and running on SUSE Tumbleweed 20210317. Installing dependencies manually and installing the XE-RPM with "--nodeps" did the trick.

1) install prerequesits manually

• sample command (depends on your local installation): "sudo zypper in bc gcc10-c++ gcc10-info gcc-c++ gcc-info gcc-locale latex2html-pngicons libaio-devel libcap-ng-utils libcap-progs libjpeg62 libjpeg-turbo libturbojpeg0 mksh ksh nfs-doc nfs-kernel-server pixz sysstat xorg-x11-libs"
• REFERENCES for dependencies:
• https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/18/cwlin/supported-suse-linux-enterprise-server-12-distributions-for-x86-64.html
• https://community.oracle.com/tech/apps-infra/discussion/4316418/how-to-install-oracle-19c-on-suse-leap-15-1
• https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/18/cwlin/checking-kernel-and-package-requirements-for-linux.html
• list dependencies included by preinstallation: "rpm --requires -qp oracle-database-preinstall-18c-1.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm"

2) install XE-RPM with "--nodeps" option

• sample command: "sudo rpm --nodeps -vi oracle-database-xe-18c-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm"
• The XE-RPM has very little dependencies: "rpm --requires -qp oracle-database-xe-18c-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm"

3) proceed installation according to REFERENCES:

• https://www.oracle.com/de/database/technologies/appdev/xe/quickstart.html
• Parameters in oracle-xe-18c.conf: https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/18/xeinl/performing-silent-installation.html

Here's the same solution for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12: https://forums.explore.suse.dev/discussion/13797/install-oracle-18c-xe-on-sles-12-sp3

But I omitted to set the kernel parameters by hand. This might bring some performance issues later on. REFERENCES for kernel parameters:
