Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install sqlcl-package on Kali Linux.
What is sqlcl-package
sqlcl-package is:
This utility makes it possible to build a Debian package from Oracle SQL
Developer Command-Line (SQLcl). The Oracle SQL Developer program is governed
by the copyright holder (Oracle USA, Inc.), so you may be limited as to what
you can do with the resulting package (i.e. no redistribution, etc). This
utility will simply help you create the Debian package, it is your
responsibility to use the resulting package accordingly with the OTN license,
a copy of which is included in the created package, that you must agree on
when downloading the source.
This utility will require you to download the architecture independent archive
from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sqlcl/overview,
identified as “Oracle SQL Developer Command-Line for All Platforms”, to create
the Debian package from.
Due to a conflicting name with content of package “parallel” the upstream
binary “sql” will be renamed. Multiple versions can coexist so
“sql.[upstream version].standalone” will invoke a specific version of
Oracle SQL Developer Command-Line, “sql.[upstram version]” will invoke
either the standalone or bundled Oracle SQL Developer Command-Line version
(in this order), while “sqlcl” (the recommended way) and
“sqlcl.standalone” take advantage of Debian’s alternatives system and,
when left in auto mode, will always invoke the highest version installed.
