Step 3: Extract Software

The next step is to extract the software downloaded in the previous step, as well as updating the install-dbvisit file permissions to allow the execution option. First use "unzip" to uncompress the downloaded software package, followed by using the "tar -xf" command to extract the archive. The steps are shown below:

oracle@dbvlin101[/home/oracle/7.0]: unzip dbvisit-standby7.0.01_linux.zip
Archive:  dbvisit-standby7.0.01_linux.zip
  inflating: dbvisit-standby7.0.01.tar
  inflating: README.txt
  inflating: online_user_guide_reference.txt

oracle@dbvlin101[/home/oracle/7.0]: ls -l
total 109844
