Oracle Application Express installs with the Oracle Database. Oracle Application Express consists of tables, packaged procedures, functions, JavaScript files, and image files. Depending on how you install, you can run Oracle Application Express 100% within the Oracle database, or, you can choose to serve static files external to the database using a web server.

For specific instructions, see the Oracle Application Express Installation Guide.
