  For more information, see {link-prefix}:{link-oracle-connector}#obtaining-oracle-jdbc-driver-and-xstreams-api-files[Obtaining the Oracle JDBC driver and XStream API files].
  
  .Procedure
  
  . Download the {prodname} https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/debezium/debezium-connector-oracle/{debezium-version}/debezium-connector-oracle-{debezium-version}-plugin.tar.gz[Oracle connector plug-in archive].

  [NOTE]
  ====
  As stated in the preceding prerequisites, the {prodname} Oracle connector does not include the Oracle JDBC driver or the XStream API JAR.
  ====
  . Extract the files into your Kafka Connect environment.
  
  . Add the directory with the JAR files to {link-kafka-docs}/#connectconfigs[Kafka Connect's `plugin.path`].
  
negative.code: Depending on your Oracle environment, you must have either the Oracle JDBC driver (`ojdbc8.jar`) or XStream API (`xstreams.jar`) to run the {prodname} Oracle connector.
  Licensing requirements prohibit {prodname} from including these files in the Oracle connector archive.
  However, the required files are available for free download as part of the Oracle Instant Client.
  The following steps describe how to download the Oracle Instant Client and extract the required files.

  The {prodname} Oracle connector requires the Oracle JDBC driver (`ojdbc8.jar`) to connect to Oracle databases.
  Due to licensing requirements, the required driver file is not included in the {prodname} Oracle connector archive.
  You must download the required driver file directly from Oracle and add it to your Kafka Connect environment.
  The following steps describe how to download the Oracle Instant Client and extract the driver.
  endif::product[]
  
  .Procedure
  
  . From a browser, download the https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/instant-client/downloads.html[Oracle Instant Client package] for your operating system.
  
  . Extract the archive and then open the `instantclient___<VERSION>__` directory.

  . Copy the `ojdbc8.jar` and `xstreams.jar` files, and add them to the `_<KAFKA_HOME>_/libs` directory, for example, `kafka/libs`.
  +
  [NOTE]
  ====
  In environments that use the Oracle LogMiner implementation, copy only the `ojdbc8.jar` file.
  The `xstreams.jar` file is only required in environments that use the Oracle XStreams implementation.
  ====
  . If you are using the XStreams implementation, create an environment variable, `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`, and set its value to the path to the Instant Client directory, for example:

  [source,bash,indent=0]
