      Instant Client Installation for macOS (ARM64)

      Installing and Removing Oracle Instant Client

      Perform the following steps for installing or uninstalling Oracle Instant Client for Apple macOS (ARM64). All installations require a Basic or Basic Light package.

       

      Installing Notarized Oracle Instant Client Software DMG Files

      1. Download the desired Oracle Instant Client packages.
      2. Mount all desired DMG packages.
        For example: 
        

hdiutil mount instantclient-basic-macos.arm64-23.3.0.23.09.dmg
      3. Run the following commands to copy the volume contents to the install location, for example, /Users/user-name/Downloads/instantclient_23_3.
        For example: 
        

cd /Volumes/instantclient-basic-macos.arm64-23.3.0.23.09
sh ./install_ic.sh

        Note:
        Run install_ic.sh only once, from any instantclient-*-macos.arm64-23.3.0.23.09 directory.

      4. Eject the mounted Oracle Instant Client packages in Mac Finder.
        Alternatively, use the hdiutil unmount command in the terminal to eject the mounted Oracle Instant Client package. For example: 
        

/usr/bin/hdiutil unmount /Volumes/instantclient-basic-macos.arm64-23.3.0.23.09
      5. If you install SQL*Plus or other tools, add the installation directory to your path, for example. 
        

export PATH=$PATH:/Users/user-name/Downloads/instantclient_23_3
      6. If applications do not have access to your Downloads directory, you may want to move Instant Client. For example, you might move it to /opt/oracle/instantclient_23_3.

      Removing the Oracle Instant Client Software

      To remove the Oracle Instant Client software, delete the instant client directory. For example, /Users/user-name/Downloads/instantclient_23_3.
