Decompress zip file you have downloaded in some position of hard disk drive. Here I decompress it at C:/DevPrograms.

Note: Your folder must be named apex. This is compulsory.

Open CMD and CD to apex directory:

Next, enter sqlplus statement in order to log in sqlplus (Note: Don't open sqlplus directly. It should be through CMD after CD to apex directory).

Run script apexins.sql

--
-- Run script apexins.sql with parameters:
--
-- @apexins.sql tablespace_apex tablespace_files tablespace_temp images
--
-- Where:
-- tablespace_apex is the name of the tablespace for the Oracle Application Express application user.
-- tablespace_files is the name of the tablespace for the Oracle Application Express files user.
-- tablespace_temp is the name of the temporary tablespace or tablespace group.
-- images is the virtual directory for Oracle Application Express images.
-- (To support future Oracle Application Express upgrades, define the virtual image directory as /i/.)
--

@apexins.sql sysaux sysaux temp /i/

Wait for about 30 minutes until the above statement is completed.

The above script create some SCHEMA on Database, you can test by querying view ALL_USERS on SQLPlus:
