Creating a local Oracle test database

Is there a quick way to create a local Oracle test database? I need to modify a stored procedure in a remote database. However, I would ideally like to test it, perhaps by cloning a remote database locally.

I don't need the same dataset, maybe only a very small subset and only a few tables, if possible. I read about Oracle XE and others , but am not sure if there is a quick and easy way to do it.
