Though GUI is a preferable method to do client installation, But sometimes DBAs might be not to be able to xmanager to enable GUI for the server. In that case, installation using response file will be useful.
In this example, we will do the installation of Oracle client 11.2.0.4 version.
1. Download Oracle client software from oracle portal.-
2. Copy and unzip the software in the server
3. Update the response file.
4. Now do the installation silently.
COMMAND – ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs -showProgress -silent -responseFile /software/client/response/client_install.rsp
