Olive trees need a hot, dry, sunny situation. It would not do well with only morning sun, however, a south facing window usually has the best lighting for indoors. They have become popular houseplants because they tolerate dry soil and dry air. If you plan on moving it outdoors in the summer, during the winter it would be OK if it receives low light.
