automated pre-installation process script

This document provides a bash script for automating the prerequisite checks and setup for Oracle Database installation on RHEL, supporting versions 11g, 12c, and 19c. It includes checks for memory, required packages, user and group creation, directory structure, kernel parameters, user limits, SELinux status, and file system architecture. The script logs the results of these checks and summarizes the setup completion for the specified Oracle version.
