On second thought. The stuff with the environment variables is needed after
the installation.
With the 8.1.7 environment defined it may be easier to start the already
installed OracleInstaller
But you need it to easily and savely switch between the environments.

| Add a new line to /var/opt/oracle/oratab, temporarely use a dummy Oracle

| Use oraenv script to set the environment by specifying that dummy sid.

| PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin;$PATH
| in shell scripts because then you are in trouble.
