As the root user, configure the OS and create the directory structure.

yum install -y oracle-database-preinstall-19c wget
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1
mkdir -p /u02/oradata
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01 /u02
chmod -R 775 /u01 /u02

Database installation.

As the oracle user:

Make a scripts folder

mkdir /home/oracle/scripts

Create an environment script. This will hold all of the settings.

cat > /home/oracle/scripts/setEnv.sh <<EOF

Add the contents of setEnv.sh to Oracle's .bash_profile.

echo ". /home/oracle/scripts/setEnv.sh" >> /home/oracle/.bash_profile

Create a start script.

cat > /home/oracle/scripts/start_all.sh <<EOF
#!/bin/bash
. /home/oracle/scripts/setEnv.sh

export ORAENV_ASK=NO
. oraenv
export ORAENV_ASK=YES

dbstart \$ORACLE_HOME

Create a stop script.

cat > /home/oracle/scripts/stop_all.sh <<EOF
#!/bin/bash
. /home/oracle/scripts/setEnv.sh

export ORAENV_ASK=NO
. oraenv
export ORAENV_ASK=YES

dbshut \$ORACLE_HOME

Set the owner and folder and execute on the scripts.

chown -R oracle:oinstall /home/oracle/scripts
chmod u+x /home/oracle/scripts/*.sh

Unzip the installer.

cd $ORACLE_HOME
unzip -oq /tmp/LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zip

Run the installer.

Edit the "/etc/oratab" file setting the restart flag for each instance to 'Y'.
Example:

cdb1:/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/db_1:Y

Enable Oracle Managed Files and make the PDB start when the instance starts

sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF
alter system set db_create_file_dest='/u02/oradata';
alter pluggable database pdb1 save state;
exit;
EOF

APEX

As the oracle user:

Make the apex directory and unzip the apex files.

mkdir -p /home/oracle/apex
unzip /tmp/apex_19.*.zip -d /home/oracle
chown -R oracle:oinstall /home/oracle/apex
cd /home/oracle/apex

Create an ACL script. This will be need later.

cat > apex_acl.sql << EOF
BEGIN
  BEGIN
    dbms_network_acl_admin.drop_acl(acl => 'all-network-PUBLIC.xml');
  EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
      NULL;
