- Make sure that Operating System Requirement is satisfied.
- Make sure that the correct version of Oracle database is installed on the server, as described in Oracle Database Requirement
Install R as described in R Requirement.
Install Oracle R Enterprise Server components on the server as described in Install Server.
Install Oracle R Enterprise Client components on each of the client systems, as described in Install Client.
