If you cannot install Oracle 11g or 12c on your own machine, and you have ready access to an Oracle installation you may be able to use it. Oracle has maintained upward compatibility for SQL between Oracle versions for many years. The installation instructions are very similar, and the screen shots in these instructions are from installations of both Oracle 11gR2 and Oracle 12cR1. These setup instructions are for Oracle 11g Release 2 and for Oracle 12c Release 1. The Quick Installation Guide and the full Installation Guide for your operating system can be found in the Install directory created when you unzip the file you will download as part of these instructions. If you are installing on an operating system other than the Windows family, such as Linux or Solaris, then follow these instructions to join OTN, except download the version of Oracle for your platform rather than the Windows version. The examples in the main document are for the Microsoft Windows family, including Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8.
