Check Hardware Requirements

To check the amount of RAM and swap space available, run:

$ grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
$ grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo

The minimum RAM required is 1024MB, and the minimum required swap space is 1GB.

It is recommended swap space be:

• Twice the amount of RAM for systems with 2GB of RAM or less.
• Between one and two times the amount of RAM for systems with more than 2GB.

You also need the following:

• 2.5GB of available disk space for the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 software
• 1.2GB for the database
• At least 400MB of free space for the /tmp directory.

To check the available disk space on your system, run:

$ df -h
