Oracle Client installation

How can You Install Oracle client in ubuntu

First you have to get the Debian file. You will get it from the link : http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/htdocs/102xelinsoft.html

Here you have to download the Oracle database 10g express client. If ou are using ubuntu then you have to get the *.deb file.You may have to make an account and get a username and password in that site For installing double click on the file you have downloaded.And follow the procedure. Then it will get installed and you can access the SQL CLI from the Applications --> Oracle client 10g Express edition.

If it is showing some error when you try to connect to the server, as shown in the figure.

Then you have to open the file nls_lang.sh. And in that file there will be some bugs. In that file make sure that in the lines 106 & 108 there is only single brackets. This will clear the bug and you can get it running.
