Install KVLite

KVLite is bundled with the Oracle NoSQL Database software. To install KVLite, perform the following:

  1. Download the tar.gz or .zip file from Oracle Technology Network.
  2. Use gunzip and tar commands to extract the .tar.gz package (or use unzip command if you downloaded the .zip package). Oracle NoSQL Database version 24.1.11 Community Edition is used in this example. The actual package names and directory names will change, depending upon the release version you are using, and whether you are using Community Edition (CE) or Enterprise Edition (EE).

    Be aware that the examples used in this document are part of a separate download and must be unpacked separately.

    Also, make sure you meet the following requirements to run KVLite:

    • Install Java version 17 in your machine.

    • Maintain a minimum disk space of 5GB.

    The examples download package (kv-examples-24.1.11.tar.gz in this tutorial) can be obtained from the same location as you obtained your server download package.

    $ gunzip kv-ce-24.1.11.tar.gz
    $ tar xvf kv-ce-24.1.11.tar  
    
    // To extract the examples package: 
    $ gunzip kv-examples-24.1.11.tar.gz
    $ tar xvf kv-examples-24.1.11.tar
In this case, the contents of kv-ce-24.1.11.tar.gz is unpacked to a directory called kv-24.1.11 and the contents of kv-examples-24.1.11.tar.gz is unpacked to a directory called kv-24.1.11/examples.
