APEX Installation

After downloading, you will get a zip file named something like "apex_19.2_en.zip". Copy the file from the default download folder and paste it to the folder in which you want to install Oracle Apex 19.2 . for example, I moved this file to F:\Software\APEX19, and after extracting the file, I got the “apex” directory here. Now the complete path of my Oracle Apex installation is F:\Software\APEX19\apex.

3. Step into the new APEX directory

From CMD prompt on Windows change the directory to the F:\Software\APEX19\apex as follows:

cd F:\Software\APEX19\apex

4. Run APEX installation scripts

Now you need to run all the Oracle Apex 19.2 installation scripts from this "F:\Software\APEX19\apex" location. Start the SQL*PLUS with SYS user credentials to connect to the Oracle Database as shown in the following example:

sqlplus sys/syspsw@orcl as sysdba

Now run the installation script as following, and note that you can change the tablespace names according to your database

@apexins.sql SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/

5. complete Apex run time environment settings :

But first, And before running bellow script, you need to reconnect to Oracle Database again because after running the above script it will disconnect you from Oracle database

cd F:\Software\APEX19\apex

sqlplus sys/syspsw@orcl as sysdba

@apxrtins.sql SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/

6. Run APEX Password Script

Now you need to change password for the ADMIN user as while running bellow script and note that password must follow the complexity rules, for example, I provided the password as Apex#19_2

cd F:\Software\APEX19\apex

sqlplus sys/syspsw@orcl as sysdba

@apxchpwd.sql

7. Copy APEX images to APEX directory
