Installing EDB*Plus on SLES 12 x86_64 v41

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process:

  • Install Java (version 1.8 or later) on your server, if not present.

    sudo zypper -y install java
  • Set up the repository

    Setting up the repository is a one-time task. If you have already set up your repository, you do not need to perform this step.

    To set up the repository, go to EDB repositories and follow the instructions provided there.

  • Address other prerequisites

    # Activate the required SUSE module
    sudo SUSEConnect -p PackageHub/12.5/x86_64
    sudo SUSEConnect -p sle-sdk/12.5/x86_64
    
    # Refresh the metadata
    sudo zypper refresh

Install the package

sudo zypper -n install edb-edbplus
