Oracle 21c on Linux Silent installation

Oracle 21c for Linux platform is available today. You can download from here: https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/oracle-database-software-downloads.html

To keep the information brief, I will just post commands I used for 21c installation. You can always reference to official installation guide and other posts for more information:

Take note "-sampleSchema true" is not longer supported in 21c.

>> [FATAL] [DBT-12513] Sample schema is not supported in oracle home version 21.0.0.0.0.

And OracleHome is ReadOnly Home

[oracle@ol8 bin]$ orabasehome 

/u01/app/oracle/homes/OraDB21Home1

[oracle@ol8 bin]$ cat $ORACLE_HOME/install/orabasetab

#orabasetab file is used to track Oracle Home associated with Oracle Base

/u01/db21c:/u01/app/oracle:OraDB21Home1:Y:

Unzip the software

$ unzip LINUX.X64_213000_db_home.zip -d /u01/db21c
