Install the driver on Linux (RPM)

Prerequisites

ODBC Driver for Salesforce requires an ODBC driver manager to work properly. The driver manager is not included with the Devart ODBC Driver and must be installed separately.

Devart ODBC Driver for Salesforce is compatible with the unixODBC driver manager. You can install the unixODBC driver manager using the following command:

dnf install unixODBC

Note

If you’re using a different ODBC driver manager, Devart ODBC Driver for Salesforce can still be installed. However, you will need to manually modify the configuration files of the respective driver manager.

Install the driver on CentOS 9

1. Download the .rpm package for ODBC Driver for Salesforce from the Devart website.

2. In a terminal, navigate to the folder where the package is located. By default, the package is downloaded to ~/Downloads.

cd ~/Downloads

3. Run the following command to install the driver:

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

Driver is installed successfully

Note

You may encounter the following error during installation: ‘Failed dependencies: liblttng-ust.so.0()(64bit) is needed by devart-odbc-salesforce-3.4.2-1.x86_64’ Failed dependencies The error indicates that the liblttng-ust library is missing from your system. To resolve the issue, install the library.

sudo yum install lttng-ust

After installing the library, initiate the driver installation again.
