Installing on Linux (RPM) - ODBC Driver for Microsoft Excel

Prerequisites

ODBC Driver for Microsoft Excel works under control of an ODBC driver manager. ODBC driver manager is not distributed along with our driver and must be installed separately.

ODBC Driver for Microsoft Excel is compatible with unixODBC driver manager.

If you are using other ODBC driver managers, ODBC Driver for Microsoft Excel will be installed, but it will require manual modification of configuration files of these managers.

Installation

Let's consider how to install Devart ODBC Driver on Linux from an RPM package, for example on CentOS. To install the driver, you should download the .rpm package and install it via the command line. See the detailed description of these steps below.

1. Download the RPM package from the Devart website.
   By default, the required package will be downloaded to the ~/Downloads folder (or the selected one).
2. Run the 'Konsole' program.
3. Navigate to the folder with the downloaded RPM package (if you downloaded the package to a folder other than ~/Downloads, you need to specify the path to that folder as the cd command parameter):

   cd ~/Downloads/

   

4. To install the devart-odbc-excel.i386.rpm on a 32-bit system, use the following command:

   sudo rpm -ivh devart-odbc-excel.i386.rpm

   

   To install the devart-odbc-excel.x86_64.rpm on a 64-bit system, use the following command:

   sudo rpm -ivh devart-odbc-excel.x86_64.rpm

   

To activate the driver, perform the steps described in the Product Activation article.
