    Hello Dinesh,

    No, there are no supported ways to install Vertica while using a soft link. This has not been tested by our QA department, and modifying any installation scripts would make your system unsupportable. We suggest you run the supported installation script using the correct methods, which are listed here:

    Vertica 7.x: https://my.vertica.com/docs/7.0.x/HTML/index.htm#Authoring/InstallationGuide/InstallingVertica/RunTheInstallScript.htm

    Vertica 6.1.x: https://my.vertica.com/docs/6.1.x/HTML/index.htm#14062.htm

    Vertica 6.0.x: https://my.vertica.com/docs/6.0.x/HTML/index.htm#14062.htm

    Thanks,
    Rory
