If you are using Vertica, you will need to follow these steps to install the Vertica JDBC driver.

1. Exit the PDI client, if you have it running.

2. Stop the Pentaho Server.

3. Copy the Vertica JDBC driver to these three directories:

   • INSTALL_DIR/server/pentaho-server/tomcat/webapps/pentaho/WEB-INF/lib

   • INSTALL_DIR/server/pentaho-server/tomcat/webapps/pentaho/WEB-INF/lib
