In general, this guide is applicable to all Oracle installations. In all of the OS, the installation process is the same, only slightly different in the pre-requisite its installation.
Download the Oracle database software first. It’s Free, free. Previously you must have an account at Oracle. If you do not have, making it easy, have an important email. Just follow the “sign up”. When prompted to enter the pin OPN, and you do not have pins OPN company because you are not a partner in its Oracle, empty it.
