To confirm that you have Oracle Data Mining and OLAP options installed, follow the instructions outlined in "Confirming that Oracle Data Mining and OLAP Options are Installed".

After you download and install the Database, upgrade to the latest patch. Patches are available from My Oracle Support (http://metalink.oracle.com).
