Download the Oracle Instant Client [here](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-097480.html).
- You will need to download the appropriate version for your version of Oracle (i.e Instant Client 11 goes with Oracle 11g server.)
- You will also need an Oracle login for this (free registration.)
Extract the zip file to your preferred location, such as C:\instantclient_11_2
Edit the php.ini file (C:\Bitnami\dreamfactory-x.x.x-x\php\php.ini)
- Uncomment (remove the semicolon) from the line that says
```
;extension=php_oci8_11g.dll
```
Edit your PATH variable.
- Go to Control Panel->System->Advanced System Settings
- Click on Environment Variables
- Under System variables, double click on Path.
- At the end of the Variable value, add the path to the instant client directory (see above.) Use a semicolon to separate this new entry from the current last entry.
```
;C:\instantclient_11_2
```
