Oracle 11g Release 2 Installation Steps. The Oracle Database 11g Release 2 files are broken down into two zip files on the Oracle site. That means you need to download both files, and then expand them into an installation directory. I called my installation directory C:OracleInstall, but you can call it whatever works for you. Instant Client Downloads for macOS (Intel x86) See the Instant Client Home Page for more information about Instant Client. The installation instructions are at the foot of the page. Client-server version interoperability is detailed in Doc ID 207303.1.For example, Oracle Call Interface 19.3 and 18.1 can connect to Oracle Database 11.2 or later.
