Before You Start

JDK Support

Oracle SQL Developer 19.4 release requires Oracle Java 8 or 11/12/13, with a minimum version of 1.8 update 121. Go here to download the latest version.
If SQL Developer cannot find a local JDK, you will be prompted to enter the location path for the JDK. Note that the prompt wants only the folder, not the java.exe. For example C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_152.
The Data Miner and SVN client features require Java 8
Saving your connection passwords requires at least Oracle JDK 8u152 (for access to JCE jars)

Platform Support

Oracle SQL Developer 19.4 is available for Windows 7,8,10 and Windows Server 2008/2012, Linux or Mac OS X. (See full Certification)

Installing or Upgrading

All new releases of SQL Developer require a full installation. Download and unzip the file into an empty folder. Ensure the "Use folder names" checkbox is checked when unzipping the file.
