You need to create a listener on the database server. There needs to be
both a listener.ora and tnsnames.ora file in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin.
There are sample files there already for you to work on.
Start the listener with "lsnrctl start", stop it with "lsnrctl stop" and
see the status with "lsnrctl status".
On the client, you need SQL*Net. You can install this with the "Oracle
Client" software. There is a "SQL*Net Easy Install" program that guides
you through the installation. You can instead make your own tnsnames.ora
file and install the SQL*Net program. You need the IP address of the
database server and the database instance name and the port to check (1521
by default).

See the above answer on listener.ora and tnsnames.ora and starting the
listener.

There is no need if your ORACLE_SID environment variable is set. If not,
then yes you need a connect string.
