title: Installing Oracle SQL*Loader SQLLDR on RHEL7 from Instant Client
body: <p>I have been assigned a task to create a environment setup which a piece of java program uses. This piece of java program uses sqlldr to bulk upload the data into database.</p>
  <p>Now the client's machine already has Oracle InstantClient 18.5 version configured. To the existing config I have to add sqlldr using the Tools Package (RPM) provided by Oracle <a href="https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/linux/instantclient/185000/oracle-instantclient18.5-tools-18.5.0.0.0-3.x86_64.rpm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">oracle-instantclient18.5-tools-18.5.0.0.0-3.x86_64.rpm</a>. Correct? There is a .zip file available as well on the website.</p>
  <p>Now I do not know how to do that. I have normally installed software using yum or apt-get. Can anyone please help me.</p>
  <p>Here is the existing config which could be of concern, I do not wanna disturb the other setups apart from what I wanna add to it.</p>
  <pre><code>ORACLE_HOME= /opt/oracle/instantclient_18_5/
  ORACLE_BASE= /opt/oracle/instantclient_18_5/
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /usr/local/lib/:/opt/oracle/instantclient_18_5/:
  </code></pre>
  <p>Questions:</p>
  <ol>
  <li>Now do I need to download this .rpm file onto the server?</li>
  <li>If download then download in /tmp folder, then next? Do I need to install anything else? If yes how can I verify if my current setup already do not have that?</li>
  <li>Once installed any post configurations need to be done specially for sqlldr to run?</li>
  </ol>
  <p>Please help! Thanks!</p>
