Hi,

You can install Oracle Database XE Server in Ubuntu using these instructions.

Note: Doing these would NOT install oracle 11g. It installs only Oracle 10. Installing the default oracle-xe is quite straightforward and easy. Installing 11g is different. But I've also included links to pages that have instruction on how to install 11g on linux. Hope you find them useful.

Open your /etc/apt/sources.list file

$ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Append the following line

deb http://oss.oracle.com/debian unstable main non-free

Save and close the file and add the GPG key. To do that execute the following lines in the terminal one after the other

$ sudo wget http://oss.oracle.com/el4/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle -O- | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install oracle-xe
Then configure Oracle using this command

$ sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
When you are prompted to specify HTTP port, simply press enter to select the default port ( which is 8080 )

When you are prompted to select the port that listens to the db again press enter to select the default port ( port 1521 )

When it asks for a password give a password of your choice. Confirm it by entering it again.

Let the installer complete the configuration.

To access the Database Home Page go to http://localhost:8080/apex in the browser. The username is 'system'. Password is the one that you set.
