Installation steps:

1. Unzip instantclient_12_2.zip and copy the folder to a new folder c:\Oracle. Now you will have the
following path: C:\Oracle\instantclient_12_2

2. Open Control Panel -> System and Security->System -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced ->
Environment Variables

Open variable PATH for User variables and add C:\Oracle\instantclient_12_2

Add C:\Oracle\instantclient_12_2 also in the System Variables -> PATH


3. Oracle Instant Client libraries require a Visual Studio redistributable with a 64-bit
architecture to match Instant Client’s architecture. Each Instant Client version requires a
different redistributable version:

For Instant Client 12 install VS 2010

In case you already have a new version of VS installed, it is ok.

pip install cx_Oracle
