To install the Oracle 11g database on Ubuntu, first download Ubuntu with a generic kernel from Ubuntu, and then release the link.

Installing on 12.0 is explained here

Another aproach is to setup a docker container with Oracle 11g. Since Ubuntu is not a supported operating system, in can be much easier.

Here are the steps to install Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg-agent software-properties-common
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

Download Oracle installation files https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/112010-linx8664soft.html
Unzip both files so you have a single "database" folder. Place this "database" folder somewhere and name it e.g "installation_folder"

sudo docker pull jaspeen/oracle-11g
sudo docker run --privileged --name oracle11g -p 1521:1521 -v /path/to/installation_folder:/install jaspeen/oracle-11g
