Note: I am going to install the tool (or option) on a linux server (OEL 6.3 64 bit) with Oracle DB 11.2.0.4., so only "server" configuration is described.
Step 1 - Oracle R 3.0.1
Let's start. According to documentation, Oracle R 3.0.1 is required for Oracle R Enterprise 1.4.0 (I think you can use the regular R, but Oracle strongly recommends to use their own version). Install the software using yum.
[root@oel ~]# yum install R-3.0.1 Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, security Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package R.x86_64 0:3.0.1-2.el6 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: libRmath-devel = 3.0.1-2.el6 for package: R-3.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: R-devel = 3.0.1-2.el6 for package: R-3.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package R-devel.x86_64 0:3.0.1-2.el6 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: R-core = 3.0.1-2.el6 for package: R-devel-3.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 ---> Package libRmath-devel.x86_64 0:3.0.1-2.el6 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: libRmath = 3.0.1-2.el6 for package: libRmath-devel-3.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package R-core.x86_64 0:3.0.1-2.el6 will be installed ---> Package libRmath.x86_64 0:3.0.1-2.el6 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ======================================================================================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ======================================================================================================================================================================== Installing: R x86_64 3.0.1-2.el6 ol6_addons 15 k Installing for dependencies: R-core x86_64 3.0.1-2.el6 ol6_addons 45 M R-devel x86_64 3.0.1-2.el6 ol6_addons 86 k libRmath x86_64 3.0.1-2.el6 ol6_addons 111 k libRmath-devel x86_64 3.0.1-2.el6 ol6_addons 20 k Transaction Summary ======================================================================================================================================================================== Install 5 Package(s) Total download size: 46 M Installed size: 81 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages Rdevel-3.0.1-2.el6.x86_64.rpm | 86 kB 00:00 Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing : libRmath-3.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 1/5 Installing : libRmath-devel-3.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 2/5 Installing : R-core-3.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 3/5 Installing : R-devel-3.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 4/5 Installing : R-3.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 5/5 Verifying : libRmath-devel-3.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 1/5 Verifying : R-core-3.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 2/5 Verifying : libRmath-3.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 3/5 Verifying : R-devel-3.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 4/5 Verifying : R-3.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 5/5 Installed: R.x86_64 0:3.0.1-2.el6 Dependency Installed: R-core.x86_64 0:3.0.1-2.el6 R-devel.x86_64 0:3.0.1-2.el6 libRmath.x86_64 0:3.0.1-2.el6 libRmath-devel.x86_64 0:3.0.1-2.el6 Complete!

Check that everything works fine.

Step 2 - Oracle R Enterprise
Download the "server" file from OTN. Unzip the file and run install.sh. Don't forget to set ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID.
[oracle@oel server]$ ./install.sh

You may create an ORE user with the demo_user.sh script, which
automatically grants the required privileges. A complete list of
privileges is available in the script rquser.sql.
To use ORE Embedded R Execution functionality, grant the user
the RQADMIN role.
Please, consult the documentation for more information.

Step 3 - Install packages
Download the Download the "supporting" file from OTN. Unzip the file and install the packages.
