No I didn’t, since I don’t need it on this system, and figured I’d save some time/disk space. Probably a bad idea on my part. 

The server is working fine though, I was just a bit puzzled. I”ll have to go look back and see if I did install SQLPlus on the other systems. The problem is I set up a new server just once in a blue moon, not all the time, and forget all the bits and bobs I need.
