The Debian Package sqlcl-package

In order to run Oracle SQL Developer Command-Line you'll need a working JRE. The minimum JRE you should use is 1.8 (JRE8.0).

There are several ways to obtain a compatible JRE:

• install default-jre (java), making sure it depends, at least, on the minimum required JRE version
• install one of the required openjdk-8-jre or openjdk-9-jre (java)
• install the meta-package java-runtime, making sure that it installs, at least, the minimum required JRE version as dependency
• install one of the meta-packages java8-runtime or java9-runtime, making sure that it installs, at least, the minimum required JRE version as dependency
• download and run the installer for the version you wish to install from Oracle http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/
• install java-package (contrib/misc) and generate a Debian package from the above installer

After installing a compatible JRE simply launch SQL Developer Command-Line by invoking either "sqlcl" (the recommended way), "sqlcl.standalone", "sql.[upstream version]" or "sql.[upstream version].standalone". The JRE will be automatically detected and used as long as properly installed.
