12.2 does not coexist well with 12.1
I needed 12.2 and 18c clients.
Docker was the solution, at least for me, as i just wanted to use a sqlplus
client of the appropriate version.
Properly configured, docker is indistinguishable from sqlplus.

We have an application that needs to have the Oracle client installed in--

with Oracle 12.1.0.2, but the client installer for Oracle 12.2.0.1 won’t
let me. It says there’s already Oracle software in that home and won’t let
me move on.
How do I do this?
This is Oracle 12.2.0.1 on Red Hat 7 Linux.
