I'd like to Oracle developer studio (ODS) on Ubuntu (in order to use its advanced parallel debugging features), unfortunately the install script will only install on Oracle Solaris, Oracle Linux or Redhat systems. I've followed the advise in an earlier post but it doesn't work on Ubuntu 14.04 with the latest version of ODS. Short of installing a VM and then Redhat on the VM or another Linux installation I am at loss of what to do.
BTW, I don't mind using an older version of ODS.
I believe you can install Oracle Developer Studio just by downloading the tar file version and unzipping it. This method won't support updates via a package manager, but I was able to get it to work on Ubuntu 16.04. Once the tar file is downloaded it can be unziped with
tar
and the program can be run by executing./OracleDeveloperStudio12.6-linux-x86-bin/developerstudio12.6/bin/sunstudio
