Installing Oracle 11g on OS X 10.11 El Capitan

1. Download and install Vagrant
2. Download and install VirtualBox
3. Download and install Oracle SQL Developer
4. Download the Oracle 11g zip file for Linux x64. Always download the Linux x64 zip file, even if you are on Windows or Mac OSX.
5. Clone the vagrant-ubuntu-oracle-xe repository from GitHub

git clone git://github.com/hilverd/vagrant-ubuntu-oracle-xe

6. Copy the Oracle 11g zip file to the directory vagrant-ubuntu-oracle-xe expects to find it in

cp <Download folder or etc.>/oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm.zip ~/vagrant-ubuntu-oracle-xe/modules/oracle/files

7. Install vbguest

vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest

8. Invoke Vagrant to install and configure Oracle 11g

cd <vagrant-ubuntu-oracle-xe folder>
vagrant up

9. After a few minutes your local machine will be running an Oracle 11g server on a virtual instance of Ubuntu 14.04

10. You should now be able to connect to the new database at localhost:1521/XE as system with password manager.

Took a couple tries, I had to reinstall VirtualBox, but it worked eventually. Thanks!

Got this error when connecting through SQLDeveloper: "Status : Failure -Test failed: IO Error: Got minus one from a read call, connect lapse 0 ms., Authentication lapse 0 ms."
