I need to install Oracle Database on Mac OS X. I recently developped a NodeJS application using MySQL and now, I need this one to be compatible with Oracle, this is why I need Oracle Database on my Mac OS X, I will developped the Oracle version of the application...
What's the best way to install Oracle on Mac OS X?
I tried to install Oracle using this page : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/apps-tech/intel-macsoft-096467.html
Installed package : Version 11.2.0.4.0 (32-bit) Instant Client Package - Basic: All files required to run OCI, OCCI, and JDBC-OCI applications
But it seem's not working because on my terminal I'm not able to execute sqlplus...
And is there a client interface for Oracle?

There is no Oracle database server available on current macosx. The last Oracle version was 10.2.0.4, even a quick and incomplete 10.2.0.5 but that was years ago. Now we do have clients. See installation instructions for macosX
Currently there is also a java client that works pretty well but still is under development. De EA of sqlcl can be found here Oracle SQL Developer 4.1 EA2 (4.1.0.18.37), last update was yesterday.
If you really need an Oracle server, go for VirtualBox and create a Linux image for it to run Oracle-12 in. VirtualBox can be found here https://www.virtualbox.org/. For now, stay with OEL-6, that you can find here just pick V52218-01

These days it's very easy to spin up a complete Oracle server in Docker for Mac.
One image I found to be working very well is https://hub.docker.com/r/sath89/oracle-12c/
