It's an environment variable. On Unix, you'd set it at the command prompt by typing "export ORACLE_HOME=/some/path", and in Windows you'd do "set ORACLE_HOME=\some\path".

It gets a bit trickier on Windows in that you can also set that by means of a registry entry, or via the Control Panel... but you didn't mention an operating system, so it's a bit difficult to give you more precise help.
