Ubuntu Howto: Install Oracle

Installing Oracle on Ubuntu is fairly easy, since Oracle has created a Debian and Ubuntu package repository, so it is possible to download and install the Oracle database software using apt-get and aptitude.

Howto use the Oracle Debian and Ubuntu Repository:

Add the following lines to the /etc/apt/sources.list
# Oracle Repository deb http://oss.oracle.com/debian unstable main non-free

Update the package repository database with:
cc@ray:~$ sudo apt-get update

Now you should be able to install the following Oracle software:

libaio
oracle-xe-client
oracle-xe
oracle-xe-universal

Install the Oracle Express packages
sudo aptitude install oracle-xe oracle-xe-client

Configure using:
sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure

Access the nice Oracle web interface by pointing your Firefox to:


http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex

Updated:
The installation process might report that the Oracle packages are not gpg signed, but you should be able to install the packages anyway.

You can avoid this report by added the Oracle gpg-public key to your apt-key chain
wget http://oss.oracle.com/el4/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Just a note: you can install only oracle-xe OR oracle-xe-universal. Not both. If you install oracle-xe and then you try to install oracle-xe-universal, apt will ask to remove oracle-xe.

If you want to install Oracle to use with Spanish or other “special” languages (i.e. not English), use oracle-xe-universal.

Hi,

I found this really helpful when installing on Ubuntu 8.10.
I’ve now installed on 9.10 and added a couple of extra steps i.e. getting the Oracle menu working and getting SQL*Plus runnable from a terminal window.
The steps are at

I just installed the Ubuntu 9.10 and then installed Oracle 10 Express and all went fine. I can access oracle on 127.0.0.1:8080/apex address however when I try to access the server on it’s external ip address (192.168.1.14) even when I’m on my Ubuntu machine it’s failing.
I’m new to Linux so I’m sure this should be silly and simple issue but I can’t find a way around it. I need this so I can access the oracle server from outside world (other nodes on the network)
Any help is appreciated.
