Here’s a quick and easy way to install Oracle Database on a Mac.

First up, Oracle isn’t available natively on the Mac. But don’t let that stop you!

If you’re a developer, and you just want to have Oracle Database running on your local machine, there are ways to do it. In fact, Oracle provides us with a virtual appliance precisely for that purpose.

In this tutorial, I install Oracle Database using the Oracle DB Developer VM (the VM stands for Virtual Machine). I do this via VirtualBox.

VirtualBox is a virtualisation application (also by Oracle corporation). It enables you to create virtual machines (VMs) on your computer. For example, you can use it to run Windows or Linux on a Mac, etc.

You can also use it to install Oracle on your Mac. This is because Oracle has created a virtual appliance specifically for Oracle Database (the aforementioned Oracle DB Developer VM). This appliance makes it easy to install Oracle Database on a Mac, because you don’t need to install any other operating system first. You simply import the appliance to VirtualBox. The virtual appliance comes preinstalled with Oracle Linux and Oracle Database (as well as other handy tools, such as SQL Developer, and hands-on-labs).

Below are the steps I used to install Oracle on my Mac using VirtualBox.

Install VirtualBox

If you don’t already have VirtualBox, download it from the VirtualBox website.

You can install VirtualBox just as you’d install any other software. Once the .dmg file has downloaded, open it up and double click on the VirtualBox.pkg icon. This opens the installer. Follow the prompts and close the installer once it’s installed.

Download Oracle Database

Once you have VirtualBox installed, download Oracle DB Developer VM from the Oracle website.

Click the Oracle DB Developer VM link:

That opens up a popup window with a checkbox and a download button.

Check the box if you agree with the licence agreement, and click the Download button:

If you’re not already logged in, you might be asked to log in or create an account. Go ahead and do so.

Once done, the file will be downloaded.

It’s quite a large file (mine was 7.82 GB), so give it some time to download.

Install Oracle Database

Once the file has downloaded, you can go ahead and install Oracle Database via VirtualBox. This also installs Oracle Linux as the operating system.

First of all, launch VirtualBox.

Once VirtualBox has launched, select File > Import Appliance...:

This opens up the following Appliance to Import screen:

Click the yellow folder icon to navigate to the Oracle DB Developer VM file you just downloaded. It has a .ova extension.

Once you’ve selected the file, click Continue.

This brings us to the Appliance Settings screen:

Go ahead and click Import.

This opens the following license agreement prompt:

Click Agree if you agree.

This imports the virtual appliance. This is when Oracle Database is installed via VirtualBox.

The following screen is displayed while it’s importing:

Once it’s finished, Oracle Database is installed as a virtual machine.

Launch the Oracle Database VM

After completing the previous steps, Oracle will now appear under your list of virtual machines. If this is your first virtual machine, it will be the only one listed. If not, you’ll see it listed along with your other virtual machines.

Here’s what mine looked like after importing the Oracle DB Developer VM (I also have other VMs in the list):

To launch it, double-click Oracle DB Developer VM in the left menu.

Alternatively, you can click once to select it, then click the green Start button/arrow at the top.

This launches a new window with the Oracle DB Developer VM.

At first this may be blank:

However, after a short time, it should eventually settle at something that looks like this:

Congratulations! You have now installed Oracle on a Mac!

Any time you want to work with your Oracle Database installation, you’ll need to start the VM first. You can keep it running in the background, but if you ever shut it down, you’ll need to relaunch it if you want to work with it again.

Connect to Oracle Database

Now that Oracle Database has been installed, you can use tools such as SQL Developer and SQLcl to connect to it.

• SQL Developer is a GUI interface (a bit like what SSMS is to SQL Server).
• SQLcl is a command line interface. This allows you to connect to Oracle via a Terminal window on your Mac.

These tools are available in the Oracle DB Developer VM. In fact, the SQL Developer icon can be seen on the desktop of the above screenshot.

You can launch these programs from within the virtual machine, or you can download and install them to run natively on your Mac.

To run SQL Developer in the virtual machine, double-click on the SQL Developer icon on the desktop of the virtual machine. If prompted with a username and password, enter the following:

This should connect and you should be able to run SQL queries immediately.

The Oracle DB Developer VM includes some sample schemas, and the hr account is a good one to get started with if you want to play around. This schema contains information about employees—departments, locations, work histories, and related information. You can also use the sys or system accounts if required. The password is oracle for those too (all passwords in the Oracle DB Developer VM is oracle).

However, you might prefer to run SQL Developer and/or SQLcl natively on your Mac, check out the following articles for downloading and installing them:

When you do run those applications natively on your Mac, you’ll need to open VirtualBox and start the Oracle DB Developer VM whenever you want to connect to the above Oracle installation.

Free Virtual Boxes For Windows 10

At the Special Event keynote of the Worldwide Developer Conference 2020, the Apple CTO presented the new name of macOS which succeeds the very controversial Catalina edition: it is Big Sur, a title predicted a few hours earlier and referring to the sunny beaches of this Californian coastline located not far from the Apple Park. This year, the most remarkable is probably on the design side, with significant improvements that quickly overshadow the departure of Jony Ive .

You may be wondering what more does the macOS 11 Big Sur have to offer you? Well find out for yourself, you even can in Windows, first you’ll need to learn how to install macOS 11 Big Sur on VirtualBox on Windows PC. And don’t worry we will instruct you how to.

Method 1

Here’s how to run macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox:

1. Download Big Sur InstallAssistant.pkg (9GB) either inside the virtual machine or on the host on a disk image that will be mounted on the virtual machine. Windows can create and mount VHD disk images through Disk Management.
2. Use VirtualBox to create an additional disk image that’s has at least 60GB of space. Attach it to the virtual machine and erase it with Disk Utility, formatting it to APFS.
3. Run InstallAssistant.pkg which creates an “Install macOS Beta.app” in the /Applications folder
4. Run “Install macOS Beta.app”, select “Show All Disks…” and select the new empty disk.
5. Allow the installer to complete. When the macOS initial setup starts, shut down macOS with Command-Q
6. Set the virtual machine’s USB version to 1.1 and disable all network adapters from the VirtualBox settings (AppleKeyStore, the system’s secure keychain, crashes otherwise)
7. Boot macOS Big Sur and complete the initial setup
8. After initial setup is complete the USB settings and network adapters can be restored.

Congrats, you have a macOS version that’s slower and uglier than Catalina! Hopefully Apple will replace the blurrier icons and other blurrier graphical interface elements by release time.

Method 2

VirtualBox and a VirtualBox Extension Pack?

VirtualBox is a virtualization program and essentially its purpose is to create virtual machines that can run on Linux, macOS or Windows operating systems on a desktop that is already under the control of another operating system. Using this software you can create a virtual machine, manage and access it with ultimate ease.

Also using VirtualBox, you can also integrate both your Windows 10 and macOS Big Sur virtual machines allowing you to share files. There are also an abundance of many other interesting features included in VirtualBox and Mac OS can also affect the performance of your base Windows Operating system.

This new system USB wise will only support USB 3.0. If you install the VirtualBox Extension Pack this can help you in fixing the problem as it has the capability to connect to the VirtualBox which unlike the macOS system can cater for USB 3.0 devices also.

Download macOS 11 Big Sur ISO Image

If you want to run macOS 11 Big Sur using your VirtualBox virtual machine first and foremost you’re going to need a macOS Big Sur image (ISO file). On here are the installation files that you need to install macOS versions 11 These images are available online however not all of them guaranteed to work with VirtualBox. In order to help you create a macOS ISO image below. This has been made from scratch, and will help you set up macOS Big Sur 11 on your Virtual Machine in just a few minutes.

How to install macOS 11 Big Sur on VirtualBox on Windows PC

Step 1: Download Big Sur Final from the Mac App Store

The first step towards creating a macOS Big Sur ISO file is to download macOS Big Sur Final from the Mac App Store.

This is not possible if you can’t access a Mac. If you do not have one, consider borrowing it from your friends or use a Virtual Machine. You will need it for about 15 minutes. The consecutive steps can be completed on your Windows PC. The installer will launch once the process is complete. You only need the downloaded files. If you want to access the Installer File, you can find it in the Application folder.

Sep 2: Create macOS Big Sur ISO File

Find your macOS Big Sur.App and move it to the Application folder. You must use the Terminal to convert the files to an ISO. You can find the Terminal in Applications > Utilities.

# Create a Big Sur Virtual Disk Image

hdiutil create -o /tmp/BigSur -size 8500m -volname bigsur -layout SPUD -fs HFS+J

# Mount this Image to macOS

hdiutil attach /tmp/bigsur.dmg -noverify -mountpoint /Volumes/bigsur

# Use macOS Createinstallmedia Tool to create a Installer Imagesudo /Applications/Install macOS bigsur.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia –volume /Volumes/bigsur –nointeraction

# Unmount Volume bigsur

hdiutil detach /volumes/Install macOS bigsur

# Convert the bigsur.dmg to a bigsur.iso for Virtual Machine

hdiutil convert /tmp/bigsur.dmg -format UDTO -o ~/Desktop/bigsur.cdr

# Move and Rename bigsur Image to Desktop

mv ~/Desktop/bigsur.cdr ~/Desktop/bigsur.iso

Problem with “createinstallmedia” not found

Step 3: Install New VirtualBox 6.1.4 and then install the Extension Pack.

Now that we have unzipped the folder and we now have access to the image, we need to then install VirtualBox and also at the same time make sure that it is the latest version. You’re going to want to go ahead and download, and install VirtualBox.

VirtualBox 6.1.4 (free): Download

If you remember we mentioned the VirtualBox Extension Pack, well you can download that here. Then open the application and click to install the extension pack on your VirtualBox.

Step 4: Create a New Virtual Machine

Now that you have successfully downloaded VirtualBox and we also have the ISO image ready, we are going to want to create what is called a new Virtual Machine. The first step of this is to go to the top of your VirtualBox window and click “New ” button. What happens next is that a wizard will appear that will walk you through the steps of creating a Virtual Machine.

As the wizard guides you through the process of creating a virtual machine you are going to be asked various bits of information:

Name for Virtual Machine: macOS big Sur 11.
Type: Mac OS X.
Version: 11.
RAM: We usually recommend this be around 50% of your physical RAM availability, so if your computer has 8GB RAM go ahead and select 4GB.

Once you have named your virtual machine and decided upon the RAM Usage it is next going to ask you what Hard Disk you want the Virtual Machine to use. You will see three options, do not add, create or use an existing one. Select “Create a Virtual Hard Disk” with 100GB and browse to where the “macOS 11 Big Sur..vmdk” file was located and then finally click create!

Step 5: Edit the Virtual Machine

We have now finally created the Virtual Machine, however that isn’t everything finished, we need to alter a few settings. And to do this, go into settings. From the list on the left select ‘System‘. There will be three tabs at the top, select ‘Motherboard‘ and tick the box which says ‘Enable EFI‘ and for Chipset from the drop down list select PIIX3.

Change VirtualBox Chipset to PIIX3

Then in the Processor tab tick the box next to ‘Enable PAE/NX’ and increase the amount of core to 2 (presuming that is 50% of your CPU).Processor Tab

Next up in the settings select ‘Display‘ from the list on the left. The first tab you should see should say ‘Screen’. Here you can decide upon the Video Memory of your Virtual Machine, its ideal to set it at 128 MB and Graphics Controller is VMSVGA.Set up Video Memory with 128 MB

The final part of the settings process is to select USB from the lsit on the left and go ahead and tick the box that says USB 3.0 as if you remember it only supports USB 3.0 natively and not 2.0Enable USB 3.0 in VirtualBox

Step 6: Add ISO Image

Open Storage tab, Click on CD/DVD icon and open your “Big Sur..iso” image.Add Big Sur. ISO image to VirtualBox

Step 7: Use Command Prompt to add the following code to VirtualBox

Close VirtualBox before follow this step, we are going to give you some code to add in to VirtualBox however you’re going to need to do this through CMD or Command Prompt. Go to your start menu and type in CMD and you should see the below, if you do, go ahead and right click and click ‘Run As Administrator’.Open Command Prompt (cmd)

Code for VirtualBox (New): Download

Note: replace “Your VM Name” in this commands line with your Virtual Machine Name in step 3, then type in the following code:

• cd “C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBox”
