Installation Notes

This archive includes both SQL Developer and an embedded copy of the Java 17 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 17.

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\jdk-17

• Download the file for OS X or ARM64 on the Downloads page
• Extract zip file
• Run application

• 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/jdk-17)
• SQL Developer will automatically launch once jdk location is provided
