Thanks. Unlike most Oracle staff I only have an IQ of about 134, and that
was when I was younger. The KISS principle applies to marketing, the more
complex things are, the smaller your target audience becomes. ;-)

Um, no.
Many, many people use ORDS with APEX. Maybe even a majority.
If that doesn’t apply to you, ignore the APEX bit and APEX specific
settings in your ORDS install procedure.
So to keep it simple, instead of having two install guides, one sans-apex
and one w/-apex, you get what you see.
I’ll take another look and see if there’s not something we can do for the
next version of ORDS so this is more obvious.

*Subject:* Oracle REST and APEX
reading through the Instalilng Oracle REST Data Services manual... why do
the authors continuously assume people want to use APEX?!
e.g. page 1-8 and 1-9, installation example.
Starts as an Oracle REST installation, but morphs into "Yeah! Let's
install dependencies for APEX!" Which is useless to someone* who wants
to install REST services*.
It's obvious that in Oracle staff's mind, Oracle REST == APEX. As if they
assume that almost everyone who installed REST is using it for APEX.
Some of us just want to have the same functionality that the mod_plsql
Apache module provided with zero interest in extra bells and whistles.
