You need to first install Java (prefferably 1.5 SDK) - JRE is not sufficient as you may want to compile some transformations and at that point the Java’s compiler is used.

If you download CloverETL Examples package, there is a sample Oracle DB configuration file. Also it is a good intro into what Clover can offer.

From Clover’s site, Documentation section, read “Quick Start”. This should give you enough info to start experimenting.
