'How to install Oracle SQL Developer on Linux (Pop!_OS)
I am trying to install SQL Developer on my laptop. I've download the file from Oracle and follow the instruction, I have RPM installed, but when I run rpm -Uhv sqldeveloper-21.4.3-063.0100.noarch.rpm, I encountered the following:
rpm: RPM should not be used directly install RPM packages, use Alien instead!
rpm: However assuming you know what you are doing...
warning: RPM v3 packages are deprecated: sqldeveloper-21.4.3-063.0100.noarch
error: Failed dependencies:
/bin/sh is needed by sqldeveloper-21.4.3-063.0100.noarch
What can I try next?

It looks like you are trying to run a package made for redhat based systems, but PopOS is debian based.
To proceed with the installation you must first install rpm2cpio, then you can extract it by running the command "# rpm2cpio datamodeler-21.4.2.059.0838-1.noarch.rpm", then you can access the extracted directory.
Then you can use the command "# ./sqldeveloper.sh" to run the application.
But, ensure you have a JDK installed You will be prompted to enter a jdk path. (ie usr/java/jdk1.8.0_181) SQL Developer will automatically launch once jdk location is provided
