Oracle Unable to configure Oracle sqlplus V12 properly. Need Help. Resources could'nt be found elsewhere .

I installed Oracle sqlplus on My Ubuntu 14.04 64bit version as per the instructions on:
help.ubuntu page (Unable to post the URL as i'm new user here).
I'm totally new to SQL and now i'm learning queries in my college.
I installed 64bit version of sqplus and run it executing the command:
Code:
sqlplus64

on my terminal.
It prompts for username and password which i dont know and i also couldn't login as sys or sysdba as per the instruction of pages found on other pages on the internet.
Please help, I beg. Need this so much.
I can provide you with further information for you to help me. Smilie

P.C.: I want to use sqlplus locally on my personal computer. There is no server-client architecture or network here, in my home. But, in college, we use network.

Did you just install the Oracle client? Do you have an Oracle Database server to connect with the client?

Users are setup on the DB side.

Oracle I installed just 3 *rpm files using alien software which converted them into *.deb files, installed.

alien took care of the installation of the *.deb files itself.
Yeah, i get that the username and password has to be setup at the server side. But, i am a newbie to sqlplus and a total noob in this topic. I want to use this locally on my personal machine for my practice purposes.
Anyhow, answer for your question, Files i installed:
  • oracle-instantclient12.1-sqlplus-12.1.0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm
  • oracle-instantclient12.1-basic-12.1.0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm
  • oracle-instantclient12.1-devel-12.1.0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm



as per the instructions on, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Oracle%20Instant%20Client

You have installed only the client. You're not able to connect as there's no database ...
Oracle Database Server is not supported on Ubuntu, you can use a free supported
platform like Oracle Linux.

If you don't mind, can you please give me a guided step by step procedure of what to do and the URL of the apt resources for the mentioned platform (Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit) required for the installation, Or at least redirect me to a page containing the procedures, which you think would really work?

This is a much needed software for me now. Smilie
Thanks in advance. Smilie

As I said, you should use a supported platform (not Debian/Ubuntu!).
You can use either the official documentation or the quick guides on Tim Hall's oracle-base.com.

Ok, I begin to understand the nature of the problem.
But, the following procedure made me wonder, if 11g would work on Ubuntu:

Code:
http://meandmyubuntulinux.blogspot.in/2012/05/installing-oracle-11g-r2-express.html

So, Can you please check that article and tell me, if i follow those steps exactly as prescribed, i would be able to create a username, password to use them to log in locally into my personal computer to practice my subject? Smilie
