Hi,
A user was asking to have the installation of Cassandra & Elastic on another directory instead of the default /etc/...
I was wondering if this is possible on Linux Debian to specify an installation directory and if it's allowed to do this (way to go) to make sure the workflow won't be affected?
Thanks!
Hi Gilles,
You can do the installation from the binary tarball. Basically where you extract the tarball is where it will be installed. A big disadvantage of this is that you might need to perform some manual actions to ensure the right permissions on your folders and that you need to remember the location where to find everything in case of troubleshooting (e.g. finding log files). Starting Cassandra or running nodetool commands are also slightly different, so you need to take this into account.
