Installation Notes

This archive includes both SQL Developer and an embedded copy of the Java 8 Development Kit (JDK). Simply extract the zip to a fresh directory and run the sqldeveloper.exe in the top directory. The EXE is configured to run the embedded JDK by default.

Note: the Windows EXE requires a MSVCR100.dll to run. Most computers will already have this file and in the Windows PATH. However, if the first copy of the file found by the EXE is a 32-bit copy of the DLL, then SQL Developer will fail to start. You can fix this by copying a 64-bit version of the DLL into the BIN directory or updating your OS PATH such that a 64 bit copy of the DLL is found first.

This archive. will work on a 32 or 64 bit Windows OS. The bit level of the JDK you install will determine if it runs as a 32 or 64 bit application. This download does not include the required Oracle Java JDK. You will need to install it if it's not already on your machine. We officially support Oracle JDK 8 or 11.

If SQL Developer cannot find Java on your machine, it will prompt you for the path for a JDK home. This only occurs the first time you launch SQL Developer. A valid Java Home on Windows will be similar to

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_181

• Ensure you have a JDK installed, if not, download here

(For 64-bit Intel Macs, download Java for Mac OS X 10.5, Update 1.

For the latest version of Mac OS, use the Software Update feature)

• Download the file for OS X on the Downloads page
• Double-click the SQL Developer icon

• Ensure you have a JDK installed, if not, download here
• rpm -Uhv sqldeveloper-(build number)-1.noarch.rpm (install the package)
• cd sqldeveloper (go to sqldeveloper folder)
• ./sqldeveloper.sh (run sqldeveloper.sh file)
• You will be prompted to enter a jdk path. (ie usr/java/jdk1.8.0_181)
• SQL Developer will automatically launch once jdk location is provided
