super newbie here. Trying to learn DBA stuff.
I've been trying to install oracle database 18c on Oracle Linux 8 but there are two missing packages that are just not being found. I need these to complete the installation properly:
nothing provides compat-libcap1 needed by oracle-database-preinstall-18c-1.0-1.el7.x86_64
- nothing provides compat-libstdc++-33 needed by oracle-database-preinstall-18c-1.0-1.el7.x86_64
These two commands do not work.
rpm -ivh compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-72.el7.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh compat-libcap1-1.10-7.el7.x86_64.rpm
I've looked a lot online.
Thanks in advance.

You want to install the "oracle-database-preinstall-18c" package, using the "yum" utility as root. That will load all of your dependencies for you:
It should be noted that Oracle 18c isn't supported on Oracle Linux 8; ideally you should be using Oracle Linux 7. See these articles for install steps and guidelines:
