In the VM, you’ll find everything up and running. You won’t have any setup to do. You’ll find a single-node installation of Vertica Community Edition with the VMart example database, the Vertica client tools, and a tutorial to help you get started using the client tools.
You will learn how to use:
• Vertica Management Console: Browser-based database administration and query processing.
• Vertica Administration Tools: Database administration with scripting capabilities in a Linux shell.
• Vsql: Command-line interface for processing SQL commands and meta-commands.
To download the VM, go to vertica.com and click Product -> Download -> Community Edition. Then follow the download and startup instructions that are posted with the VM. If you’d like to take a look at the tutorial exercises in advance, click here.
