Installing Vertica with the installation script

Run the installation script after you install the Vertica package. The installation script runs on a single node, using a Bash shell. It copies the Vertica package to all other hosts (identified by the --hosts argument) in your planned cluster.

The installation script runs several tests on each of the target hosts to verify that the hosts meet system and performance requirements for a Vertica node. The installation script modifies some operating system configuration settings to meet these requirements. Other settings cannot be modified by the installation script and must be manually reconfigured.
