Installing Community Edition on Debian - non-AMD architecture?
I downloaded the installer for the Community Edition from the Marketplace. When I run the installer I get informed "Error: Wrong Architecture 'amd64'.
The package downloaded is: 'vertica_6.1.2-0_amd64.deb'.
I am installing in to a VMWare Workstation 9 VM running Debian 7.3.0-i386
The VM machine is an Intel Core I5-3320M CPU, 32bit OS.
Is there an appropriate installer for Vertica Community Edition available?
On the Marketplace, do the architectures for the servers get listed? Because I can't see where they are specified.
Thanks,
Neil

Vertica requires 64-bit Linux. (We need the larger memory address space.) Debian calls 64-bit "amd64", because the instruction set was first released by AMD. Though this is a bit misleading as it is supported by all modern Intel processors as well (including yours).
Fortunately, VMware Workstation can run 64-bit guests on 32-bit hosts, as long as the underlying CPU supports it. So you can download the Debian "amd64" installer and VMware should let you use it to create a new Vertica-compatible VM.
You will also need to use Debian 6 -- we don't, officially at least, support Debian 7 currently.
If you want something newer and Debian-like, we do support Ubuntu Server. (Again, 64-bit only.)

You might try posting an Idea requesting Debian 7 support. That'll be reviewed by people who actually think about the road map.
