anchor.diff:  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.
  -However, you can obtain the driver with a free download of the Oracle Instant Client.
  +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.

   .Procedure
   
  -. Download the https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/instant-client/downloads.html[Oracle Instant Client] for your operating system.
  +. 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.
   +
  -If you are not installing the Instant Client and want only the JAR files, those files are available in the *Basic Light Package*.
  -. Extract the archive and then open the `instantclient` directory.
  +For example:

  -. Copy the `ojdbc8.jar` and `xstreams.jar` files to the Kafka Connect _libs_ directory.
  +. Copy the `ojdbc8.jar` and `xstreams.jar` files, and add them to the `_<KAFKA_HOME>_/libs` directory, for example, `kafka/libs`.
   +
  -For environments that use the Log Miner implementation, you need only the the `ojdbc8.jar` file.
  -The `xstreams.jar` file is required only if you are using the Oracle XStreams implementation.
  +[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]
  
positive.code: }

negative.code: * Connects to the Oracle database.
  * Reads the redo log.
  * Records change events to Kafka topics.
