There is an Advanced Package Tool (apt-get) repository available on the Oracle Open Source
web site for Oracle Database XE. To include this repository, add the following to the file
/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://oss.oracle.com/debian unstable main non-free
libaio and bc are included in the repository, and will be installed from the repository if you
do not already have them installed.
If you download Oracle Database XE from the Oracle Technology Network
(http://otn.oracle.com/xe), you need to make sure that you have already installed the libaio
and bc packages. If you are using Ubuntu or Kubuntu, the bc package is installed by default
on the desktop version, but not on the server version.
To install Oracle Database XE on Debian, Ubuntu and Kubuntu, follow these steps:
1. Log in or su as root
su

2. Install Oracle Database XE
apt-get update
apt-get install oracle-xe
If you have not added the apt-get repository, you can download Oracle Database XE
from http://otn.oracle.com/xe, and run the following command to begin the install:
dpkg -i downloads/oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb
Oracle Database XE installs.
3. Configure the database
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
4. Accept the default ports of 8080 for Application Express, and 1521 for the Database
Listener.
5. Enter and confirm the password for the default users.
6. Enter Y or N for whether you want the database to start automatically on reboot. The
database and database listener are configured and started.
