Thank you so much for this post. I wanted to run SQL Developer on Ubuntu 20.04 but I didn't know that .deb packages were listed under Other Platforms for Linux. I was bummed by the .rpm files. Now, I also want to connect to Oracle Database locally. Could you make another article for that? Thanks and thanks.

Thanks for this, at first I downloaded a linux version and it didn't work. After that I removed that version, btw I could not do it with the ubuntu software upgrade tool so did a delete java from the GUI, and downloaded the debian one. The install took place but could not find the /usr/lib/jvm with the GUI. If you use mlocate it is there. So I just passed that path when I started pl/sql dev. Now, it works....!

I followed your tutorial on jdk and sqldeveloper, which works well, thank you very much, but I can't program the PLSQL, and I'm asked to connect to the oracle database.

Could you provide me with a tutorial on how to install an oracle database on ubuntu?

Thank you very much

I was having the same problem. I solved by specifying within the sqldeveloper the folder where tnsnames.ora is located

And after installing, you can't connect the database and also tsnames.ora file will not generate so its just a waste of time.
