Linking Libraries
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/lib64

cd /lib64

groupadd -g 502 oinstall
groupadd -g 503 dba
groupadd -g 504 oper
groupadd -g 505 asmadmin
useradd -u 502 -g oinstall -G dba,asmadmin,oper -s /bin/bash -m oracle
passwd oracle
Take Note of the oracle User Pass :)
Making the Target Directories
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/12/dbhome_1
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
chmod -R 775 /u01

Set DB Directory Permissions
chown -R oracle:oinstall /tmp/database

Add Paths to oracles .bashrc

Login as Oracle
su oracle
Then Edit the .bashrc file
nano ~/.bashrc
Append:
# Oracle Settings
TMP=/tmp;
export TMP TMPDIR=$TMP;
export TMPDIR ORACLE_HOSTNAME=[HOSTNAME];
export ORACLE_HOSTNAME
ORACLE_UNQNAME=DB12C;
export ORACLE_UNQNAME
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle;
export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/12/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:/usr/lib64;
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib;
export CLASSPATH
Replace [HOSTNAME] with IP and [DBSID] with SID Name

In this Example Respectively:

HOSTNAME = 127.0.0.1
DBSID = SID
Load New .bashrc Settings
bash

Run the Installation Script

chmod -R +x /tmp/database

/tmp/database/runInstaller
