How To Download Oracle Database 21c


 In this step I will show you, how you can download your copy of Oracle Database
21c for Windows 10 or 11 x64 professional version for FREE. This download is
going to be around 3GB in size.
 Currently Oracle Database 21c is only available for Linux x86-64, HP-UX ia64
and Microsoft Windows x64 (64bit) operating system. Unfortunately Oracle 21c
is not available for 32 bit Operating systems.
 Since Oracle Database 18c, Oracle introduced a new installation process called
image-based installation. In this new process we only have to download 1 zip file
which is unlike Oracle 12c or previous versions where we had to download two
or more zip files. Oracle Database 21c Download
Link www.Oracle.com/Download
 Go to the above link and the select Oracle Database 21c and then click on the
Windows operating system x64. After that you have to validate the download by
logging in to your account. If you don’t have any account on Oracle.com then
create one. It’s free of cost. As soon as you hit the sign-in your download will
start automatically.
 Till now Oracle 21c is only available in two editions –

1. Oracle Database 21c Enterprise Edition


2. Oracle Database 21c Standard Edition 2

 Both these editions are bundled in the same file that I mentioned earlier. You
don’t need to download them separately. I have explained the process of
downloading Oracle Database 21c in my video tutorial. If you still have any
confusion then check out the video.

Setting Up The Location


 In this process the location where setup.exe file of Oracle Database is located
will become the Oracle Base / Oracle Home location of the Oracle DB.
 The Oracle Base is the location where all the binaries and libraries of the Oracle
Database are placed. Since all the Oracle DB files are going to be stored onto
this location thus it needs to be decided beforehand.
 I would suggest you to create a directory onto your hard drive partition which
has maximum free space. Also, make sure not to place this directory on the
partition which holds your operating system.

Install Oracle Database 21c


 Installing Oracle Database 21c on windows 10/11 operating system is a 4 step
process. In these four steps we will be configuring Oracle Database with a
starter database.
Step 1: Configuring options
 Here you will have two options which are

1. Create and Configure a Single Instance Database, and


2. Setup software only
Select the second option only when you are either upgrading your oracle database or
setting up a RAC. Go with the first option if you are installing fresh copy of Oracle
Database. The first option will also create a starter database for you to practice.

For this demonstration I will select the first option.


Step 2: System class
 This step will decide what sort of installation you want to proceed with. Here you
have to select one out of two class of your oracle database 21c. Option which
are available here are –

1. Desktop class, and


2. Server class

 Desktop class is the minimal configuration of your Oracle Database. You select
this option when you are installing your Oracle DB on your desktop or laptop.
 Server class, as the name suggests is a more advance installation of the Oracle
DB. You select this option when you are installing your Oracle Database on a
server grade systems.

For the demonstration here we will go with the 1st option which is desktop-class.
Step 3: Oracle Home User
In order to keep everything in control Oracle Server needs a windows user. And, in this
step Oracle Universal installer (The OUI) will give you 4 options to configure a windows
user for your Oracle Database. These 4 options are –

1. User Virtual Account You select this option when you neither want to create a
new nor want to use an existing windows user
2. Use Existing Windows User As the name suggests you go with this option
when you want to use an existing windows administrative or a standard
windows user for your Oracle Database
3. Create A New Windows User This is the most recommended option. In this
option you create a windows user which is dedicated only for your Oracle
Database. This newly created user doesn’t have logon privileges . Which
means you will not be able to log on to your windows OS using this user.
4. Use Windows Built-In Account This option will allow you to use all the windows
accounts which windows operating system has created for you during the
installation.
My recommendation is to go with the 3rd option and create a new Windows user which
is solely dedicated for the work of your Oracle Database.
Step 4: Typical Installation
 This is most crucial step of the installation. Here you will configure the heart
of your Oracle Database 21c. I would suggest you to be very careful with this
step.
 Recommended Action: refer to the attached picture for the recommended
values
 Oracle Base: This is the base directory of all your Oracle products. This will
be the location where all the necessary directories like Oracle Home of your
Oracle 21c will be placed.
 This is an editable drop down menu. Here you may already have one or two
option in the menu which you can choose as your Oracle Base location. You
can also select one of your own locations as oracle base if you want to, for
that simply press the browse button and select your desirable location.
 Software Location: Software location also known as Oracle Home or DB
Home. This is a non-editable field. In image-based installation we cannot
change the Oracle home location. The Oracle Universal installer (OUI) takes
the location of setup files and assign it as a software location.
 Database File location: This is the location where all the core files of the
Oracle Database 21c are stored. By core files I mean Data files, redo log
files, control files, server parameter files and the password files. For the
proper functioning of the Oracle DB all these files are very important.
 Database Edition: This is another drop down list. This is already populated
field with all the available edition of the Oracle Database 21c. Currently
Oracle 21c is available in two editions.
1. Enterprise Edition, and
2. Oracle Standard Edition 2

 Character Set: This field lets you set the character set of your database.
 Global Database Name: Global database name is the name of your
database and serves as your database SID. You will need this global
database name for making connection with your database using software
like SQL Developer. By default it is set as ORCL. If you want you can change
it but I would recommend you to save the information somewhere securely.
 Password: This will be the password for your Oracle Database’s
administrative users like SYS and SYSTEM. These administrative users are
the special users. Using them you can change the core settings of your
Oracle Database thus it is always advisable to set a strong password for
them.
 Pluggable Database name: The last field of this step is the pluggable
database name. Here you will set a unique name for the pluggable database.
By default it is set to “ORCLPDB” if you want you can change it. This
pluggable database will serve as a template for all the PDBs that you will be
creating in the future.

Step 5: Prerequisite Check


 Once you are done with the typical installation next the OUI will check all the
prerequisites. If everything goes well you will be all set for the installation
otherwise you will see the error(s) that you have to work on to install your
Oracle Database 21c.
Step 6: Summary
 Once you have successfully pass the prerequisite check you will see the
summary of your configuration. Here I would suggest you to save it for
future use. To save this summary simply click the “Save Response File”
button. And then press the install button to start the installation.

Step 7: Oracle EM
 Once the installation is done the Oracle Universal Installer will show you a
URL. Using this URL you can access the Oracle Enterprise manager. To know
about Oracle Enterprise Manager check out the series that I did a short while
ago.
