Introduction

Installing CX Oracle has been a "pain" for many of us (Including me), who even wants to waste their time on setting up CX Oracle from scratch right? I've gone ahead to make your life a little easier with this easy to use Docker File / Bash Script.

All you got to do, is to follow the steps below.

Steps (Intel - x86_64)

1. Install Docker on your machine.
   • You may need to also install Docker Compose. Some distro doesn't have Docker Compose pre-installed.
2. Clone this repository.
3. Open your terminal and navigate to the cloned repository (Tip: cd).
4. Change the file permission of install.sh to executable. (Tip: chmod +x install.sh)
5. Run the install.sh file. (Tip: ./install.sh)
6. Wait for the installation to complete.
7. Upon completion, please ensure the environment variables are globalised for your terminal. The environment key-value pair will be shown on your Terminal. (Tip: source ~/.bashrc)
8. Please re-link the libclntsh.dylib file to the libclntsh.dylib.19.1 file.
   • Delete the contents in the lib folder
     • rm -rf ~/oracle/lib/*
   • Re-link the libclntsh.dylib file to the libclntsh.dylib.19.1 file
     • ln -s ~/oracle/libclntsh.dylib.19.1 ~/oracle/lib/libclntsh.dylib
9. Woila! You can now run CX Oracle on any of your projects. Remember that the steps performed by you above is one-time only! If your installation is corrupted, please re-run the install.sh file.

Notes

• You may be asked for your password during the installation process. This is because the script needs to run some commands as root user, but it is totally safe!
• I will ensure the environment variables are globalised in the future! (WIP)
