howto: install tora on fedora 12
tora is the "Toolkit for Oracle" and was originally written by the developer of Toad. it is now very much a community driven software project. installing it is no longer the challenge it used to be. Tora is backward compatible from Oracle 11g to oracle 9 due to using the oracle instant client for 11g
i am writing up this article for 2 reasons
- to add a couple of changes
- i recently tried to access the original article but had to try several times to get to it and so i decided to reproduce it with my additions
you will first need to download 2 packages
- tora-2.1.0-1.fc12.remi.x86_64.rpm
- oracle-instantclient11.1-basic-11.1.0.7.0-1.x86_64.rpm
as you can see tora is packaged by remi who quite conveniently also has a repo. so if later on you want to keep your tora package updated you can use his repo. note that i am not using his repo and it is not in the scope of this article.
after downloading those 2 files, we can now begin the actual process of installation.
we first of all install the dependencies:
sudo yum -y install qt-devel qscintilla-devel qscintilla
then install the oracle instant client
sudo yum -y localinstall oracle-instantclient11.1-basic-11.1.0.7.0-1.x86_64.rpm --nogpgcheck
next, add the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to your $USER profile
echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/11.1/client64/lib" >> ~/.bash_profile
OR if you want to add it to your entire system
sudo echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/11.1/client64/lib" >> /etc/bashrc
and finally install tora itsel
sudo yum -y localinstall --nogpgcheck tora-2.1.0-1.fc12.remi.x86_64.rpm
thats it! to start up tora from the command line, just type
tora
