How to Import the Oracle DB Developer Virtual Machine to VirtualBox

Once you download the file, open VirtualBox. Go to File > Import Appliance. Next, browse the OVF file you’ve downloaded.

Next, you can change the default appliance settings. I would recommend to change the RAM to 4 GB or more.

Click Import and then the import process will begin. It takes some time to finish. Once completes, start the virtual machine. And you can start using Oracle APEX to build your database applications.
