How to Install Vertica on an Ubuntu box?
Is it possible to Install Vertica on an Ubuntu box? I tried the debian version but got unsupported error message. Downloaded 6.1.1 (6.1.2 didn't work for the same reason, so just tried my luck with one build backwards) sudo dpkg -i vertica_6.1.1-0_amd64.deb sudo /opt/vertica/sbin/install_vertica -d /mnt/ssd/vertica/db -g dbadmin -l /home/dbadmin Running install_vertica threw these messages: Vertica Analytic Database 6.1.1-0 Installation Tool Upgrading admintools meta data format.. scanning /opt/vertica/config/users WARNING: No hostname list provided. Installing to localhost Starting installation tasks... Getting system information for cluster (this may take a while).... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/vertica/oss/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vertica/network/SystemProfileFactory.py", line 150, in __check_os_support raise UnsupportedOSException("(%s) This version of Debian is unsupported." % host) UnsupportedOSException: (127.0.0.1) This version of Debian is unsupported.

Is there anyway I can get this installed in Ubuntu? This is for dev purposes on my local box. Any help deeply appreciated, Thanks

Can you help me in this regard .
Thanks in advance .
You have to change the release version in /etc/XXX_release (not sure the exact file name in ubuntu) file to less than 7 or 8 (don't remember the exact version.) This will fix your problem.
