This tutorial.
Which is a lovely tutorial, really, and was working up until this instruction:
Now download db.zip installation archive and place it somewhere and unzip it:
mkdir Install
cd Install
# download db.zip to this directory
unzip db.zip
cd db/Disk1
I didn't know how to "download" it, so I moved it from the desktop to the created Install directory. When I went on to "
./runInstaller -J-d32", this came up:
Khayra-Bundakjis-iMacisk1 root# ./runInstaller -J-d32

The user is root. Oracle Universal Installer cannot continue installation if the user is root.
: No such file or directory
I figured i could do the same thing from my desktop because it was set up (that's what I was doing all this time, right?)
So I click RunInstaller from the db/Disk1/ from the desktop copy, and this pops up in Terminal:
Khayra-Bundakjis-iMac:~ oracle$ /Users/oracle/Desktop/db/Disk1/runInstal... ; exit;

I know newbies doing simple things is a headache, bear with me.
Thank you <3
