Use "sudo /tmp/aveksa/staging/deploy/install.sh" to retry the installation
CauseThis issue occurs on RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle software appliances where the Oracle UserID and oinstall group are being created by the installer with a numeric ID other than 500.

 
WorkaroundACM-58287 has been filed to have this rectified in a future release.

For now the workaround for this issue is to create the oracle user and oinstall group prior to executing install.sh:

groupadd -g 500 oinstall
useradd -u 500 -g 500 -d /home/oracle -s /bin/bash oracle

 

NOTE: If a previous installation was attempted and failed the cleanup steps in knowledge article 000036717 - How to uninstall RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle must be run prior to re-running the installation.  This cleanup purges all files created with the undesired Oracle ID.
