Running Redhat/Oracle Linux only application on Ubuntu

  • 772

I'd like to install and run Oracle Developer Studio on Ubuntu but the application will only install on Oracle Linux and Redhat. Is there a way to get this application in order to install and run on Ubuntu. Appimage perhaps? I'm not sure exactly what it does or if its for this kind of task.

Edit

All the techniques that I've tried so far, including the ones suggested, generate a developerstudio.sh bundle that launches an installer that refuses to install on Ubuntu.

Update

Version 12.3 can be installed by bcat/tar but when I launch the ide it runs, shows a splashscreen and then segfaults, with the message

Segmentation fault      (core dumped) ${SPROHOME}/lib/condev/bin/check_update IDE > /dev/null 2>&1 < /dev/null

  1. You can install Oracle Developer Studio for any platform by using the tar file.

    But be aware that Oracle says :

    When you install from a tar file you cannot get support or patches for the product from Oracle.

    You may have a better experience installing CentOS or the (free as in beer) Red Hat Developer Edition to a VM or a new partition.

    That said, support and patches (similar to Oracle Linux) do not appear to be free, so the tar version may be fine.
