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
