Oracle Database Setup tutorial for Mac
For my “Database Concepts” class I had to run Oracle Database EE and SQL Developer on my computer. At the time I was using a mac and SQL Developer worked no problem but there wasn’t a verison of Oracle Database EE for Macs. I found a loophole to get it working and my teacher asked if I could make a tutorial for my peers, I made the tutorial and it is still on RMIT’s website.
Tech stack
- Mac
- Oracle database
- Docker
The Goal
My goal was to make an easy-to-understand tutorial that would help all my Mac using peers set up SQL Developer and Oracle Database EE on their machines.
My process
First I wrote down all the steps in order and how I would explain each part.
I started redoing the steps I done before on a spare computer and recorded each section so it is easy to follow.
I then added all these to my powerpoint presentation.
Before I uploaded it I showed the presentation to some of my peers, friends and family members to see if it is understandable for tech enthusiasts and tech laymen.
The Result
Project result
I managed to make the tutorial within a week and got good feedback from peers.
What I learnt
Here I learned how to put together a tutorial that is easy to understand. I also learnt more about docker.
