Solution: Add the current user to the group of users who install other Oracle software, then uninstall EPM System and repeat the installation.

The user installing EPM System must be a member of the same UNIX group as other users who install other Oracle software. This requirement is documented in the “Installing EPM System Products” section of the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.
