Installing on Ubuntu 16 server
I've downloaded 7.2.2 and have installed the Debian package, but when I try to run the post-install script like so:
sudo /opt/vertica/sbin/install_vertica --hosts 127.0.0.1 --deb vertica_7.2.2-1_amd64.deb --dba-user dbadmin --data-dir /mnt/data/vertica --ignore-aws-instance-type
I get this error:
Vertica Analytic Database 7.2.2-1 Installation Tool
Error: HALT(eS0322): Debian-based OS version 'stretch/sid' is not supported.

How do I fix this?
thanks

Vertica is not currently supported on Ubuntu 16. Use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS instead.
Hope that helps!
I've installed it on Ubuntu 14 now, but any time I try to create a new database with the admin tool, it just ends up stuck on the "Creating database" step. I don't see any errors or anything. The underlying folder where it's supposed to store the data is populated with:
port.dat procedures v_neo_node0001_catalog v_neo_node0001_data
but it stays on the "creating database" screen for > 10 minutes and never returns.
How do I fix this?
In v_neo_node0001_catalog, open vertica.log and see if there are any clues as to why the database creation step is hanging.
thanks Chris, I ended up just restarting verticad and then it seemd to work.
Hi Skunkwerk and Chris_C, I got same problem here. not sure how @skunkwerk fixed it or vertica is not support for ubuntu 16 ? @Chris_C
