Homebrew Instant Client

A tap of Mac Homebrew formulas for Oracle Instant Client and related downloads.

Usage

$ brew install InstantClientTap/instantclient/<formula>

Where <formula> is one of the formulas listed in the Formula/ directory. For example instantclient-sqlplus would require

$ brew install InstantClientTap/instantclient/instantclient-sqlplus

You could also tap the repository before installing. This is equivalent to the calls above:

$ brew tap InstantClientTap/instantclient
$ brew install <formula>

Installing libraries which depend on Instant Client Basic Lite

When installing libraries which depend on Basic Lite you might need to specify the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. E.g. in order to install ruby-oci8 older than 2.2.0 you will need to execute

$ DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(brew --prefix)/lib gem install ruby-oci8

You can also set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH globally but this is discouraged and is known to break things.
