    TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR
    
    ORACLE_HOSTNAME=<HOSTNAME>; export ORACLE_HOSTNAME
    ORACLE_UNQNAME=DB11G; export ORACLE_UNQNAME
    ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE
    ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1; export ORACLE_HOME
    ORACLE_SID=<DBSID>; export ORACLE_SID
    
    PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH; export PATH
    PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH
    
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH
    
    Substitute HOSTNAME and DBSID with the Values you Will Use During Software Installation In this Example Respectively:
    • HOSTNAME = 127.0.0.1
    • DBSID = SID

    Load New .bashrc Settings

    bash
