{% endhint %}

### Install from PyPI or Source

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Install Using PyPI" %}
```bash
pip install 'openmetadata-ingestion[oracle]'
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
```
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Build from source " %}
```bash
# checkout OpenMetadata
git clone https://github.com/open-metadata/OpenMetadata.git
cd OpenMetadata/ingestion
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install '.[oracle]'
```
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Configuration

{% code title="oracle.json" %}
```javascript
{
  "source": {
    "type": "oracle",
    "config": {
      "host_port":"host_port",
      "username": "openmetadata_user",
      "password": "openmetadata_password",
      "service_name": "local_oracle",
      "service_type": "Oracle"
    }
  },
 ...
```
{% endcode %}

1. **username** - pass the Oracle username. We recommend creating a user with read-only permissions to all the databases in your Oracle installation
2. **password** - password for the username
3. **service\_name** - Service Name for this Oracle cluster. If you added Oracle cluster through OpenMetadata UI, make sure the service name matches the same.
4. **filter\_pattern** - It contains includes, excludes options to choose which pattern of datasets you want to ingest into OpenMetadata
