Do I need root privileges to install SQL Developer (Linux - Ubuntu, 14.04 LTS)?

PaulieJun 26 2014 — edited Jun 30 2014

I tried to install SQL Developer as a normal user and that failed. It only worked when

I did

sudo ./sqldevelper.sh

Is this really necessary or did I miss something in the install? I would prefer not

to have to use root privileges. In previous versions of SQL Developer, it was

not necessary to be root (AFAIR).

Any indications of what I was doing wrong appreciated - or is it now obligatory

to be root to install the tool?

TIA and rgs,

Paul...
