Prerequisites for installing OBIEE (11g or 12c) on Linux OS (RHEL)

Prerequisites for installing OBIEE (11g or 12c) on Linux OS (RHEL)

 

       Before you start installing OBIEE 11g or OBIEE 12c it is better to have all this packages installed on your OBIEE frontend server. Some packages are required and some packages are optional, but trust me, in the future you will need it. :)
 
Best and easiest way is to install packages via YUM (on Oracle Linux). Command:

yum install lvm2 bind-utils oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall tigervnc-server xterm mutt zip unzip sendmail-cf vim-enhanced samba-client system-config-firewall glibc.i686 libgcc_s.so.1 unix2dos iotop iptraf cifs-utils nfs-utils wget dos2unix telnet rsync expect hdparm tree pigz p7zip p7zip-plugins rlwrap postfix openmotif.i686 openmotif22.i686 libstdc++.i686 compat-libstdc++-33.x86_64 compat-libstdc++-33.i686 openmotif22-2.2.3 for x86_64 rng-tools xorg-x11-apps-y 

Do not forgate to install latest JDK. You can download latest JDK version from Oracle official site. After successfull download, locate your RPM file on file system and execute command:

rpm -ivh "rmpfile"

Cheers! ;)
