Note (Read Me)

As of 12/14/2021, Oracle does not yet support Apple Silicon (arm64e). Due to this, it is necessary to leverage Rosetta v2. You can do this by clicking the iTerm/Terminal.app icon in Applications, clicking Get Info, and checking Open with Rosetta. Close out completely and restart app.

Install Instant Client

  1. Download Basic Package (ZIP) (instantclient-basic-macos.x64-19.8.0.0.0dbru.zip) Instant Client for macOS (Intel x86)
