Click the File System Disk icon and then double-click the stage directory.

Double-click the 12.1.0 directory (not shown) and you’ll see the File System icon followed by the stage icon followed by the 12.1.0 icon (which will be grey as it’s the directory we’ll extract to).
Click Extract.

Note:

It’s important for these extracts that we put everything into the right directories. Make sure that you are extracting the Database and Grid downloads to the /stage/12.1.0 directory. Each download will add either a database directory or a grid directory.

Once the extract is finished click Quit.

Click the Download button for Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1.0) for Linux x86_64 (Part 2 of 2).

Click OK to open the download with the Archive Manager.

Click Extract.

The Extract dialog will appear. Click the left arrow icon in the Archive Manager.

Note:

Make sure you stop at the 12.1.0 directory and don’t extract files into the database directory. The download already has a database directory in it and it will just add to the existing database directory. In short, make sure your extract location appears as above.

The file will extract. When the extract is finished, click Quit.
