I wanted to install Oracle XE on my MacBook Pro. As of now, I have installed VirtualBox but not sure what else I should download and install. I got Developer VM list, but all seems to be huge in size. Could anyone suggest me steps by which I can have Oracle XE on my MacBook Pro without wasting unnecessary bandwidth.

Your confused about what Oracle XE package your suppose to install or which VirtualBox package? – Ramhound – 2016-09-10T17:03:02.227
which package to install for Oracle XE. First part of your question. – Ravi – 2016-09-10T17:03:32.027
So edit your question to say that. You should download which ever package makes the most sense, which contains Oracle XE, which one you want I can't answer. There is no wrong answer. – Ramhound – 2016-09-10T17:04:20.290
Could you suggest manual steps (installing OS and Oracle db only), by which I can install what is needed that may not be listed in developer vm list. – Ravi – 2016-09-10T17:07:02.850
Do I have the knowledge to provide, step-by-step instructions to install the Oracle Database XE, I absolutely do have that knowledge. Do I feel it would make a good answer, to the question you have ask, I do not. Just download a 64-bit Linux ,ISO, of the distribution of your choice, then install, [this]http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-technologies/express-edition/downloads/index.html). Do your homework on what vulnerabilities exists on a 2 year old release though.
