Optional packages are marked with a *.
Installation Steps:
Download the appropriate Instant Client packages for your platform. All installations REQUIRE the Basic package.
Unzip the packages into a single directory such as «instantclient».
Set the library loading path in your environment to the directory in Step 2 («instantclient»). On many UNIX platforms, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the appropriate environment variable. On Windows, PATH should be used.

Instant Client Installation for Linux (32-bit)
For general Instant Client information, see the Home Page.
Client-server version interoperability is detailed in Doc ID 207303.1. For example, Oracle Call Interface 19.3 can connect to Oracle Database 11.2 or later. Some tools may have other restrictions.
Installation of ZIP files:
Download the desired Instant Client ZIP files. All installations require a Basic or Basic Light package.
Unzip the packages into a single directory such as /opt/oracle/instantclient_19_3 that is accessible to your application. For example:
For example, on Oracle Linux, run:
sudo yum install libaio
If Instant Client is the only Oracle software installed on this system then update the runtime link path, for example:
Alternatively, set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable prior to running applications. For example:
The variable can optionally be added to configuration files such as
/.bash_profile and to application configuration files such as /etc/sysconfig/httpd .
If you intend to co-locate optional Oracle configuration files such as tnsnames.ora , sqlnet.ora , ldap.ora , or oraaccess.xml with Instant Client, then create a network/admin subdirectory. This needs to be created for 12.2 and earlier, for example:
This is the default Oracle configuration directory for applications linked with this Instant Client.
Alternatively, Oracle configuration files can be put in another, accessible directory. Then set the environment variable TNS_ADMIN to that directory name.
To use binaries such as sqlplus from the SQL*Plus package, unzip the package to the same directory as the Basic package and then update your PATH environment variable, for example:
Installation of RPM files:
Download the desired Instant Client RPM packages. All installations require a Basic or Basic Light RPM.
Note that from 19.3, by default only one version of the Instant Client RPM libraries can be installed at a time.
Prior to 19.3, if Instant Client is the only Oracle software installed on this system then update the runtime link path, for example:
For Instant Client 19.3 RPM packages, these commands are automatically run.
Alternatively, set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable prior to running applications. For example:
The variable can optionally be added to configuration files such as
/.bash_profile and to application configuration files such as /etc/sysconfig/httpd .
If you intend to co-locate optional Oracle configuration files such as tnsnames.ora , sqlnet.ora ldap.ora , or oraaccess.xml with Instant Client, then create a network/admin subdirectory under lib/ . This needs to be created for 12.2 and earlier, for example:
This is the default Oracle configuration directory for applications linked with this Instant Client.
Alternatively, Oracle configuration files can be put in another, accessible directory. Then set the environment variable TNS_ADMIN to that directory name.
To use binaries from the tools package, use yum to install the package and then update your PATH environment variable, for example:
