1.3 Oracle R Enterprise Installation Steps
These steps and this roadmap illustrate a typical Oracle R Enterprise installation.
The Oracle R Enterprise Server installation script can install the supporting packages and create a database user along with the installation of Oracle R Enterprise Server.
Note:
If you intend to use both client and server components of Oracle R Enterprise on the computer that is hosting Oracle Database, then you do not need to perform a separate client installation. A local installation of Oracle Database Client is automatically included in the installation of Oracle Database.
