This chapter explains how to install Oracle R Enterprise Server. This chapter includes these topics:
Oracle R Enterprise Server enables an Oracle database to support an Oracle R Enterprise client.
Oracle R Enterprise Server includes the following:
The RQSYS schema
Libraries used by Oracle Database
Oracle R Enterprise packages, which support embedded R execution
Oracle R Enterprise includes several components that must be installed separately on the server computer.
These Oracle R Enterprise Server components must be installed in this order:
Oracle Database Enterprise Edition
Oracle R Distribution or open source R
Oracle R Enterprise Server, which includes the Oracle R Enterprise packages
Oracle R Enterprise client supporting packages
An illustration of the client and server components of Oracle R Enterprise is shown in Figure 1-2.
The Oracle R Enterprise Server installation script performs the following:
Verifies the environment:
Verifies the presence of an R installation
Verifies the presence of the libR.so, libRblas.so, and libRlapack.so libraries in $R_HOME/lib, where $R_HOME is /usr/lib64/R
Verifies that $ORACLE_HOME and $ORACLE_SID are set
Starts SQL*Plus as sysdba and connects to the database specified in ORACLE_SID
In the database:
Determines if Oracle R Enterprise Server is already installed by querying DBA_USERS for the user RQSYS.
If RQSYS is found, the installer checks the version of Oracle R Enterprise in the sys.rq_config file. The Installer uses the version information later to install the correct PL/SQL packages.
Prompts for the location of permanent and temporary tablespaces for RQSYS. By default, the tablespaces are created in SYSAUX and TEMP.
Copies Oracle R Enterprise Server libraries to $ORACLE_HOME/lib.
Creates the RQSYS schema, if it does not already exist.
Creates objects in RQSYS and installs the Oracle R Enterprise PL/SQL packages.
Installs the Oracle R Enterprise client packages in $ORACLE_HOME/R/library
Before installing Oracle R Enterprise Server, verify the following requirements:
The operating system must conform to the requirements specified in Section 1.7.
Oracle Database must be installed and configured as described in Chapter 2.
R must be installed as described in Chapter 3.
Oracle R Enterprise only runs on 64-bit operating systems. You can determine if your Windows system is 64-bit by following these steps:
Windows 7 or Windows Vista:
From Windows Control Panel, choose System.
Verify that System type is 64-bit Operating System.
Windows XP:
From the Start menu, choose My Computer.
Click Properties.
On the System tab, verify that the system is x64 Edition.
Before installing Oracle R Enterprise Server, ensure that environment variables are set as shown in Table 4-1.

|---|---|
|
all |
|
|
Linux |
|
|
Oracle Solaris |
|
|
IBM AIX |
|
|
Microsoft Windows |
|
If the PATH, ORACLE_SID, and ORACLE_HOME environment variables do not exist, you must create them and assign the values specified in Table 4-1. On Windows systems, you must be an administrator to create or modify environment variables.
Follow these steps to create or modify environment variables on Windows:
Windows 7 and Windows Vista:
Right-click the Computer icon and choose Properties.
Choose Advanced system settings.
On the Advanced tab, choose Environment Variables.
Create or modify the environment variables.

The Oracle R Enterprise Server installation script uses system authentication to connect to the database identified by ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID. System authentication is based on the operating system credentials of the user instead of the database credentials.
For example, on a Linux system, the Oracle R Enterprise installation script uses this statement to start SQL*Plus without a password:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus / as sysdba
Membership in a special operating system group enables system authentication for Oracle Database. The operating system group is created during installation of the database, and the identity of the installer is automatically assigned to the group. The generic name for the group is OSDBA. On Linux and UNIX, the name for OSDBA is DBA. On Windows, the name for OSDBA is ORA_DBA.
The user that installs Oracle R Enterprise Server must belong to OSDBA.
