How to Install & Download DBeaver Application on Ubuntu. On this occasion we will discuss how to install and also configure the DBeaver application on Ubuntu. DBeaver CE (Community Edition) is a free application and also an open source SQL client designed for developers, analysts, SQL programmers and of course Database Administrators.

DBeaver also supports many databases that have a JDBC driver. However, if you need a non-JDBC data source, you can use DBeaver Enterprise Edition. DBeaver is built using the Eclipse platform and is a very useful tool for making SQL queries, editing or transferring data. In addition, DBeaver still has many other features.

Steps to Install DBeaver on Ubuntu

Install Java on Ubuntu or Debian

To perform the Java installation process and make it the default application on the Ubuntu operating system starting from Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04, or Ubuntu 20.04, please enter the command below via the terminal:

sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk openjdk-11-jre -y

After the installation process is complete, please see the version of java that has been installed by entering the command as below through the terminal:

java -version

Later the Java version used will be displayed, for example as below:

openjdk version "11.0.10" 2021-01-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.10+9-Ubuntu-0ubuntu1.20.10)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.10+9-Ubuntu-0ubuntu1.20.10, mixed mode, sharing)

Added Debian Repo and DBeaver CE Application Installation

To add the DBeaver repo to Ubuntu or Debian, enter the following command:

wget -O - https://dbeaver.io/debs/dbeaver.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dbeaver.io/debs/dbeaver-ce /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dbeaver.list

Next, update the application list and install the DBeaver CE application after the repo is added with the command:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install dbeaver-ce -y

Then we check the version of the DBeaver application that has been installed with the command:

apt policy dbeaver-ce

Later the version of DBeaver used will be displayed as follows:

 Installed: 21.0.0
 Candidate: 21.0.0
 Version table:
*** 21.0.0 500
       500 https://dbeaver.io/debs/dbeaver-ce  Packages
       100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

After all the steps above have been done, now the DBeaver application has been successfully installed on the Ubuntu Linux operating system that we are using.
