ubuntu - install toad for oracle

http://www.toadworld.com/products/toad-for-oracle/b/weblog/archive/2012/10/01/toad-11-6-runs-natively-on-linux.aspx

Here are the steps:

1. Download Toad for Oracle 11.6 Commercial (32-bit) – choose the special, smaller MSI version (please note that the much larger downloads built on top of the “Quest Installer” not tested)

Поправка: використовую безкоштовну версію toad 
google: download toad for oracle free

 2. Download the Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 client zip file (Note that 10g clients are no longer available)

Поправка: з часу написання статті шлях змінився
актуальний шлях: 
wget -c http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/oracle11g/112010/win32_11gR2_client.zip

а взагалі в гуглі: "install" Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 client
або в гуглі: Oracle Database 11g Release 2 for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)

3. Unzip the Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 client download into your user’s home directory (e.g. ~/client)

1. Run command: wine --version and verify that you have at least version 1.4 (latest stable)
2. If you need to update wine – here are the steps for Ubuntu (see Wine HQ for different Linux)
   1. Run command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
   2. Run command: sudo apt-get update
   3. Run command: sudo apt-get install wine
   4. Recheck your wine version – repeat steps a to c above until you see wine 1.4
3. Run command ./winetricks gdiplus mdac28 msxml6 vb6run vcrun6sp6 tahoma msls31 riched20 riched30 richtx32 comctl32 comctl32.ocx

Поправка: tahoma не завантажується самостійно, тому 
використовую наступну інструкцію:

Tahoma:

wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie6sp1/finrel/6_sp1/W98NT42KMeXP/EN-US/IELPKTH.CAB
cabextract -F 'tahoma*ttf' IELPKTH.CAB
mv -f tahoma*ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/
chmod 644 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/tahoma*
fc-cache -v
rm -f IELPKTH.CAB

1. Run command: cd ~/client (or whatever directory you choseto unzip Oracle client to back in step #3)
2. Run command: wine setup.exe (this will invoke the Oracle client installer program)
3. Choose the third option: RUNTIME (754 MB) – see screen snapshot in Figure 2 below
4. Select an Oracle home that you like and will remember – see screen snapshot in Figure 3 below
5. Create a tnsnames.ora text file to point to your database(s) either manually or using Oracle netca
6. Run command to copy your tnsnames.ora file to your Oracle client home selected in step 11 above: cp ~/tnsnames.ora ~/.wine/drive_c/oracle/product/10.2.0/client_1/NETWORK/ADMIN
7. Run command: wine msiexec /i toad_for_oracle_11.6.msi (this runs the base Toad product installer)
8. Run Toad either via desktop icon or menu Applications->wine->programs->Quest Software->Toad (Note – be patient first time Toad starts as it needs to copy some files from install to app directories)

Enjoy Toad on Linux!
