Running Revolution R Enterprise on a Teradata device provides extremely good performance for large datasets. The following information shouldbe reviewed prior to attempting to install to aid in a successful deployment.
------------------------
Has the Revolution R Enterprise (RRE) client been installed and odbc connectivity verified?
Has correct version of RRE client been installed? RRE Client and Server versions must match.
Does user have documentation?
http://packages.revolutionanalytics.com/doc/7.3.0/linux/instman_ter...
http://packages.revolutionanalytics.com/doc/7.3.0/linux/RevoScaleR_...
Does user have root access?
Is psh available (not required but makes the next step easier)?
which psh
Are PUT and PUTTools installed on all nodes?
psh rpm -qa TDput
psh rpm -qa PUTTools
Can user log on to PUT as root via web browser?
https://<HOSTIP>:8443/put
Does user have sufficient privileges to create a test user and database?
Have user review instman_teradata.pdf starting at page 8.
Can user restart the Teradata DBS? A restart is required after installation and configuration of RRE.
Will restarting the DBS need to be scheduled?
What test user account will we be using? Suggest creating a temporary account such as RevoTester or ut1 as shown in the instman_teradata.pdf.
Has RevoTestDB been created, table(s) created and data loaded?
This could be done from the client side via BTEQ and fastload. The way it is done doesn't really matter.
Create a test DB:
create database RevoTestDB from sysdba as perm=20E9;
Data locations and fast load script:

http://packages.revolutionanalytics.com/datasets/ccFraudScore.csv
http://packages.revolutionanalytics.com/datasets/ccFraud_CreateLoad...
How much space is available on nodes? Need more than 500MB on all nodes
psh df -h
Check OS version:
less /etc/issue
Does user have the correct RRE tar.gz file for the Teradata DBS OS? Is it on one of the nodes?
Revo-Ent-M.m.r-TERA14S10.tar.gz
or
Revo-Ent-M.m.r-TERA14S11.tar.gz
Need a directory to for temporary job files on all Teradata nodes, has this been created?.
At a minimum, this needs to be rwx for user "tdatuser"
Suggest "/tmp/revoJobs"
