Posted by Kamran Agayev A. on July 25th, 2018

Most of you already have seen that Oracle Database 18c has been already released. If you haven’t downloaded and installed it yet, let’s do it!

First of all, check the following address and download the installation of Oracle Database 18c:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/oracle18c-linux-180000-5022980.html

If you want to download it from the host itself, you can use wget by providing username, password and the installation zip file as follows:

wget –http-user=YOUR_USERNAME –http-password=YOUR_PASSWORD –no-check-certificate –output-document=LINUX.X64_180000_db_home.zip “https://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/oracle18c/180000/LINUX.X64_180000_db_home.zip”

If you want to get more information on this technique, check the following metalink note:

Next, unzip the file and run ./runInstaller :
