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.

In case when 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 the 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 into the ~/Downloads folder (or the selected one);

2. Run the 'Konsole' program;
3. Navigate to the folder with the downloaded package cd ~/Downloads (if you downloaded the package into another folder, you need to specify the path to this 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
