SQLDEV Install

Install (Linux)

Ensure you have JDK 11 (or, at a pinch, 8) installed.

As 'root'..

Download the latest version of SQL Developer and cd to the directory you downloaded to (e.g. /u01/img)

cd /u01/img

rpm -Uhv sqldeveloper-*.noarch.rpm

rm sqldeveloper-*.noarch.rpm

cd /opt/sqldeveloper

./sqldeveloper.sh

Alternative steps for Ubuntu

cd /u01/img                                      # Change directory to where you downloaded the rpm

sudo alien --scripts sqldeveloper-*.noarch.rpm   # Convert from rpm to deb format. This can take some time

sudo dpkg -i sqldeveloper*.deb                   # This will install sqldeveloper to /usr/local/bin

sqldeveloper                                     # To launch
