Installation instructions:
In this article I will provide you detailed instructions on how to install the latest version of DBeaver on Ubuntu, Elementary OS, Linux Mint and other Ubuntu deriviative systems.
Because it is not available via any repository or PPA, we have to download the deb package from the project’s site and install it via command-line. I prefer gdebi over dpkg, due to the fact that it also handles dependencies.
Follow the below instructions for your system’s architecture exactly, in order to get a successful installation.
