This post will be useful for beginners who installing e-business suite for first time.
Pre-requisites :
Please create OS users needed for the installation. Recommended are applmgr and oracle.
Applmgr - Application binary owner
Oracle - Database binary owner
How to create OS user?
Run the below as root user,
Lets create the groups before we create users.
# groupadd dba
#groupadd oinstall
Now create the user,
useradd oracle -g oinstall -G dba (g denotes primary group and G denotes secondary group)
useradd applmgr -g oinstall -G dba
If you dont have root password reach out to your UNIX or OS team. They will assist you on this.
OS Pre-requisites :
Please read the below note before you start the installation.

Please make sure your server has all the recommended RPM's.
Our hardware will be as follows :
OS - Oracle linux 6 (32 bit)
How to check whether rpm is installed?
Use the below as root user.
# rpm -qa|grep <rpm name>
If the server returns rpm with the greater version of the recommended then we are good to keep the same. If it returns lower version we have to upgrade the rpm or if it does not return we need to install the rpm.
#rpm -ivh <rpm name> --> to install
#rpm -Uvh <rpm name> --> To upgrade
To force any rpm to be installed :
#rpm -ivh <rpm name> --nodeps
You can also use yum command to install rpm's.
| Oracle Linux 6* Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6* | Update 1 (6.1) or higher of Oracle Linux 6 is required. Update 1 (6.1) or higher of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is required. The following packages (or versions of packages) are not part of the OS distribution media and must be downloaded separately (from http://oss.oracle.com/projects/compat-oracle/files/Enterprise_Linux) for both Oracle Linux 6 and RHEL 6 and installed manually:
