Oracle Instant Client RPMs Now Available on Oracle Linux Yum Server (yum.oracle.com)
Recently, we added Oracle Instant Client RPMs to the yum servers inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Those yum servers are accessible from systems within OCI only. Today, I'm pleased to announce we added Oracle Instant Client RPMs to Oracle Linux yum server. That's right, no more manual steps to accept a license before you can download Oracle Instant Client. Simply run yum install from any Oracle Linux system connected to the Internet.
How to access Oracle Instant Client on Oracle Linux yum server (yum.oracle.com)
Grab the latest version of the repo definition file from the Oracle Linux yum server:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d sudo mv public-yum-ol7.repo public-yum-ol7.repo.bak sudo wget http://yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol7.repo
Enable the ol7_oracle_instantclient repo:
sudo yum install -y yum-utils sudo yum-config-manager --enable ol7_oracle_instantclient
Here are the instant RPMs currently available:
$ sudo yum list oracle-instantclient* ol7_UEKR4 | 1.2 kB 00:00:00 ol7_latest | 1.4 kB 00:00:00 ol7_oracle_instantclient | 1.2 kB 00:00:00 (1/2): ol7_oracle_instantclient/x86_64/primary | 2.2 kB 00:00:00 (2/2): ol7_oracle_instantclient/x86_64/updateinfo | 145 B 00:00:00 ol7_oracle_instantclient 7/7 Available Packages oracle-instantclient18.3-basic.x86_64 18.3.0.0.0-2 ol7_oracle_instantclient oracle-instantclient18.3-basiclite.x86_64 18.3.0.0.0-2 ol7_oracle_instantclient oracle-instantclient18.3-devel.x86_64 18.3.0.0.0-2 ol7_oracle_instantclient oracle-instantclient18.3-jdbc.x86_64 18.3.0.0.0-2 ol7_oracle_instantclient oracle-instantclient18.3-odbc.x86_64 18.3.0.0.0-2 ol7_oracle_instantclient oracle-instantclient18.3-sqlplus.x86_64 18.3.0.0.0-2 ol7_oracle_instantclient oracle-instantclient18.3-tools.x86_64 18.3.0.0.0-2 ol7_oracle_instantclient $
Conclusion
With Oracle Instant Client RPMs now on our publicly available Oracle Linux yum server, it's even easier to develop and deploy applications for Oracle Database.
