Oracle 19c installation fails in Oracle Database Configuration Assistant

Hi,
I'm facing an annoying problem. I have to install the 19c on a machine that can't write into /tmp folder, so it gives an error.
At the first part of the installation, it seemed that the problem was solved when you set up the environment variables as shown in:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E65398_03/otn/pdf/install/html_edmsv/output/chapter_6.htm
So, I set up TMP,TEMP,TMPDIR,TEMPDIR to a directory I control and where I have full privileges. After this, first error in the installation was wiped out, but when I reached step 16, Oracle Database Configuration, an error screen popped up.
This new window states:
INS-20802 Oracle Database Configuration Assistant failed.
Cause - The plug-in failed in its perform method
Action - refers to the logs or contact Oracle Support Services.
Checked out the log indicated in the screen with no luck.
After a while, I found a trace log at target folder that says both "unable to setup CVU remote execution framework directory", and it targets again the "/tmp/CVU_19.0.0.0.0" directory when I changed the temporary folders previously.
Also states that cant check available memory afterwards, but as it seems to be trying to reach an unreacheable directory, the crash sounds legit.
So, can you please tell me what is the correct way to tell Oracle to forget about /tmp folder and use a /whatever folder instead?
Sorry about not providing screenshots, my pro environment is restricted and I have no permissions to make them.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
you need to provide more details..
what steps did you follow as pre-requisites.
check the log file in inventory directory for more info
also, check if TMP directory has enough space.

Hi,
First of all, thanks for your quick answer @MKJ10930279.
As I stated as prerrequisite of my system I can't write at /tmp. I'm working at a secure system, and this folder is not available as it is a security issue.
For the same reason, I can't also copy and paste full logfiles or screenshots beyond 'I'm manually typing this error'
What seems I need is to change /tmp file in order to prevent CVU writing/Reading from it during step 16 of the installation.
Prerrequisites, Suse 12SP3, added required packages as specified:
bc
binutils
glibc
glibc-devel
libX11
libXau6
libXtst6
libcap-ng-utils
libcap-ng0
libcap-progs
libcap1
libcap2
libelf-devel
libgcc_s1
libjpeg-turbo
libjpeg62
libjpeg62-turbo
libpcap1
libpcre1
libpcre16-0
libpng16-16
libstdc++6
libtiff5
libaio-devel
libaio1
libXrender1
make
mksh
net-tools (for Oracle RAC and Oracle Clusterware)
nfs-kernel-server ( for Oracle ACFS)
pixz
rdma-core
rdma-core-devel
smartmontools
sysstat
xorg-x11-libs
xzUser with full privileges: oracle - orainstall. Path /u01/app/oracle.
Inventory file does not provide more intersting information beyond 'Unable to read the list of homes from the inventory' labeled as warning. Altered path seems to be correctly set there.
I know where my problem is: /tmp is not available. The problem is that CVU seems to be ignoring the bypass of manually sitting TMP,TEMP,TMPDIR,TEMPDIR.
What kind of information would I need to post? Kinda newbie looking for help, sorry.
Is even posible to change CVU's default /tmp folder to anywhere else?
Thanks in advance

Above are not the installation instructions for Oracle database 19c under Suse Linux.
Instead, I suggest to follow:
https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/ladbi/index.html
... and to check the following in particular:
It's possible that your OS is not setup correctly. Permissions of /tmp could be wrong, and for example not use SUID.
What is the output of "ls -ld /tmp" ?
If you need to use a different directory you can try the following, for example:
su - oracle
mkdir tmp
export TMP=$HOME/tmp
export TMPDIR=$HOME/tmp
