Ah, new understanding slowly emerges.... I am not a DBA, and I did not install the instance of Oracle, either client (on my VM), or the server (somewhere else). There is a chance that what I need is already on my box, and I just need to know what to look for (and where to look). Please forgive me if I seem a bit dense, but the last time I worked with Oracle was in 1999 (no DBA work, just some PL/SQL coding), and the last time I worked with *nix was in 2004, so I have some remedial work to do in both areas. I have never been in an admin role, so much of this is new to me.
