Installing ORACLE APEX on client with different server for database

I have an oracle database installed on different server. Now I want to install ORACLE APEX on my PC but I always fail, since it can't locate the SQLPLUS command.

Is it possible to install it this way or not?

Hope you can help me with this. Thanks

Apex is installed in an Oracle database, which means that you have to have access to it.

You can't install Apex on "your PC", while database is installed on a remote computer (database server).

Therefore: if you don't have access to the database itself (as a privileged user, SYS), you'll have to ask your DBA to install Apex for you. After it is done, you'll be able to use it.

Alternatively, if you install e.g. Oracle Express edition (XE) on your computer, you'll get Apex along with it. Then you can upgrade it to the latest version (or whichever version you want). Using a database link from user in your XE database to your "real" user in the remote database, you'd be able to access data stored over there.
