Hi user12221353,

Did you see the install instructions? There are several options for Linux:

https://oracle.github.io/node-oracledb/INSTALL.html

Did you already attempt an install? If so, what did you try and what errors did you get?

Regards,

Dan

Hi Dan,

It is working for every operating system as stated  in https://oracle.github.io/node-oracledb/INSTALL.html.

I have tried to install oracledb driver on linux and windows using this guide and it is working.

This documents did not mention how to install oracledb driver on debian. Debian use deb archiver instead of RPM as on linux.

I have tried to repacked the oracledb RPM for 54 bit linux to oracldb.deb using tool alien on debian. it worked and installed successfully. However when I execute the connection test from nodejs. it showed error no oracledb installed.

Error: Cannot find module 'oracledb'

Hope we can find the way to solve this.

Thanks

Your options are simple

• Convert the RPMs to DEBs using alien
• Install the ZIP files, as carefully explained in https://oracle.github.io/node-oracledb/INSTALL.html#instzip
