Status : Failure -Test failed: no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path

I downloaded SQL Developer 4.0.2 (64bit) and I am new to the Oracle environment. I am looking create a database using SQL Developer but every time I try to create a connection I receive the the following error "Status : Failure -Test failed: no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path". I did some searching online but all suggestions I tried did not work. For Connection type I am using Local/Bequeath and I am using OS Authentication. Note I get the same error independent whether I use Linux or Windows additionally I tried older versions of SQL Developer which yielded the same error. Please inform me if additional details is needed.

are you trying to create a database, or create a database connection?
does a non-bequeath or non-OS authent connection work?

My goal is to create a database on my local machine. So I am creating a new connection. I have attempted to use Basic in the connection type field but this just returns another error. That error reads " Status : Failure - Test failed IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection'. For Hostname I used the default localhost and for port number I used 1521(this is also the default).

Well - that is confusing.
You can't 'connect' to a database until AFTER you create the database.
So if you haven't created it yet create the database. Then connect to it.

To do that you have to have already installed Oracle. Then if you don't have a database you have to connect as SYSDBA using the SYS account and create the database.
It is easier to just create a database as part of the installation of Oracle. Why don't you do that?

This sounds like my problem here:

What do you have for Tools > Preferences > Database > Advanced? Specifically under "Use Oracle Client"?
