I have installed Oracle 12C release 1 on CentOS and followed the same step for RedHat and Amazon Linux. You can use X windows as well, but I recommend to user Silent installation which saves more time.
Read my previous page to download Oracle on Linux.
For this installtion I used Centos 7.2,

We are doing this installation in three parts.
db_install.rsp
– used to install oracle binaries, install/upgrade a database in silent modedbca.rsp
– used to install/configure/delete a database in silent modenetca.rsp
– used to configure simple network for oracle database in silent mode
Move oracle installer to appropriate directory. I have downloaded and extracted Oracle software in /home/ubuntu/database.
mv /home/oracle/database /ora01/app/oracle/distribs
sudo chown -R oracle:oracle /ora01/app/oracle/distribs/database
sudo chmod -R 775 /ora01/app/oracle/distribs/database
Edit and install db_install.rsp
cp db_install.rsp db_install.rsp.bck

Save and close.
Call the source file
source ~/.bash_profile
Install
cd /ora01/app/oracle/distribs/database/
./runInstaller -silent -responseFile /ora01/app/oracle/distribs/database/response/db_install.rsp
Once its done it’ll show to execute two sh files in root user.
su root
/ora01/app/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh
/ora01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/db_1/root.sh
Now test the installation.
source ~/.bash_profile
sqlplus / as sysdba
You can edit netca.rsp to set own parameters. I didn’t changed anything here. So just start standard configuration. It will configure LISTENER with standard settings.
netca -silent -responseFile /ora01/app/oracle/distribs/database/response/netca.rsp
Check LISTENER status
lsnrctl status
Lets install the database software, you can also use this to install container database. But here I’m going to install single instance database called ORA12C.
Make the directories for data files
su oracle
mkdir /ora01/app/oracle/oradata
mkdir /ora01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area
Edit the dbca.rsp file
vi /ora01/app/oracle/distribs/database/response/dbca.rsp
GDBNAME = "ora_master"
SID = "ORA12C"
TEMPLATENAME = "General_Purpose.dbc"
SYSPASSWORD = "oracle"
SYSTEMPASSWORD = "oracle"
EMCONFIGURATION = "DBEXPRESS"
EMEXPRESSPORT = "5500"
SYSMANPASSWORD = "oracle"
DBSNMPPASSWORD = "oracle"
DATAFILEDESTINATION = /ora01/app/oracle/oradata
RECOVERYAREADESTINATION = /ora01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area
STORAGETYPE = FS
LISTENERS = "LISTENER"
DATABASETYPE = "OLTP"
AUTOMATICMEMORYMANAGEMENT = "TRUE"
TOTALMEMORY = "1024"
TOTALMEMORY
= Please set this value as 70% of your total memory.
Now execute the below command to create the database.
dbca -silent -responseFile /ora01/app/oracle/distribs/database/response/dbca.rsp
Alternatively,
dbca \
-silent \
-createDatabase \
-templateName General_Purpose.dbc \
-gdbName ORA12C \
-pdbadminPassword oracle \
-SysPassword oracle \
-SystemPassword oracle \
-emConfiguration NONE \
-datafileDestination /ora01/app/oracle/oradata \
-asmSysPassword oracle \
-characterSet AL32UTF8 \
-totalMemory 6000 \
-recoveryAreaDestination /ora01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area
THIS IS FOR STANDARD EDITION
Thats it!! :)
