Oracle-xe 11g installation on ubuntu 14.04

Question

I tried to install the oracle-xe 11g rpm package. I tried to follow the oracle pdf provided by the oracle site. I run:

rpm -ivh oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm 

and I get the following:

glibc >= 2.3.4 is needed by oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64
libaio >= 0.3.104 is needed by oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64
/bin/sh is needed by oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64

I cannot seem to update or install these. Please help.

In Ubuntu .rpm files cannot be run or installed.

First you should convert the .rpm file to .deb which is the installation file type in ubuntu.

sudo alien -d [FILE NAME].rpm

Then there will be a .deb file in the same folder. You need to install it by the command:

sudo dpkg -i [FILE NAME].deb
