* These components can be installed on the same server or virtual servers, but you must be aware of the cumulative installation requirements.

The installation program extracts its contents to a temporary directory (the directory specified by the TEMP environment variable on Windows or the /tmp directory on Linux and UNIX or the current user’s home directory). The extractor checks for adequate free space. After the installation has been successfully completed or is canceled, the temporary storage used by the installation program is released.

Note: A database server's performance increases significantly when configured as a dedicated, physical server. Consult your database administrator for database server guidelines.
