   * link:https://zookeeper.apache.org/[Apache ZooKeeper], link:http://kafka.apache.org/[Apache Kafka], and link:{link-kafka-docs}.html#connect[Kafka Connect] are installed.
   * Oracle Database is installed, and is xref:{link-oracle-connector}#setting-up-oracle[configured to work with the {prodname} connector].
  -* You have a copies of the Oracle JDBC driver and the XStream API JAR.
  +* You have a copy of the Oracle JDBC driver.
  +  For more information, see xref:obtaining-the-oracle-jdbc-driver[Obtaining the Oracle JDBC driver].

   [IMPORTANT]
   ====
  -Due to licensing requirements, the {prodname} Oracle connector does not ship with the Oracle JDBC driver or XStream API files.
  -You must download these files directly from Oracle and add them to your environment.
  -For more information, see xref:{link-oracle-connector}#obtaining-oracle-jdbc-driver-and-xstreams-api-files[Obtaining the Oracle JDBC driver and XStream API files].
  +Due to licensing requirements, the {prodname} Oracle connector archive does not include the Oracle JDBC driver.
  +To enable the connector to access the database, you must add the driver to your connector environment.

  === Obtaining the Oracle JDBC driver
  
  Due to licensing requirements, the required driver file is not included in the {prodname} Oracle connector archive.
  The following steps describe how to obtain the driver and make it available in your environment.
  ifdef::product[]
  
  There are two methods for obtaining the driver, depending on the deployment method that you use.
  
  * If you xref:openshift-streams-oracle-connector-deployment[use {StreamsName} to add the connector to your Kafka Connect image], add an artifact reference to the `KafkaConnect` custom resource and then add the location of the artifact as the `url` value.
  * If you xref:deploying-debezium-oracle-connectors[use a Dockerfile to build the connector], download the required driver file directly from Oracle and add it to your Kafka Connect environment.
  
  .Procedure
  
  . Complete one of the following procedures, depending on your deployment type:
  ** If you use {StreamsName} to deploy the connector:
  .. Navigate to link:https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/oracle/database/jdbc/[Maven Central].
  .. In the YAML for the `KafkaConnector` custom resource (CR), add the URL path for the driver to the `artifacts.url` field for the `debezium-connector-oracle` artifact.
  +
  For more information about the YAML file for the `KafkaConnector` CR, see xref:openshift-streams-oracle-connector-deployment[Using {StreamsName} to deploy a {prodname} Oracle connector].
  
  ** If you use a Dockerfile to deploy the connector:
  .. From a browser, navigate to link:https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/oracle/database/jdbc/ojdbc8/[Maven Central].
  .. Click the directory for your version of Oracle Database, and then download the `ojdbc8.jar` driver file.
  .. Copy the downloaded file to the directory that stores the {prodname} Oracle connector files, for example, `_<kafka_home>_/libs`.
  +
  When the connector starts, it is automatically configured to use the specified driver.

  NOTE: If you use the {prodname} Oracle connector with Oracle XStream, download the JDBC driver as part of the Oracle Instant Client package.
