download my Git repository and extract the zip file to a local directory or (Git) clone the repository to that same local directory.

download the two database installation files from OTN and put them in some directory on the local file system.

In this article I will show how simple it is to have this new database release installed in a fresh Oracle Linux VM – by hardly doing anything at all! Leveraging the work done by Edwin Biemond in earlier Vagrant configuration files and in his Oradb Puppet module I have put together my own Vagrant + Puppet combination that will stamp out the CentOS 6.5 VM with Oracle Database 12.1.0.2 inside.Īll I (and you) have to do now to create the VM based on these Vagrant and Puppet files (since I have already installed Vagrant and VirtualBox locally – see this article for instructions on this very simple installation): Anyways, things can be really simple with today’s tools and with friends on the internet who share their own goodies (and I do not want you to take that in the wrong and possibly funny way).

However, my recent work with Vagrant and Puppet has made me … more efficient or lazier – I am not sure what the best expression is. And subsequently I can create or clone a Virtual Machine, do the necessary preparations and run the installer. With a bunch of goodies that I would like to try out. A short time ago, Oracle released Oracle Database 12c – release 12.1.0.2.
