Hello Team,
Can we change the installation loaction of couchbase from /opt/couchbase to some other location ?
If yes then how ?
Can we get the location of installed couchbase via some command or some config file ?
I believe this is what you’re looking for: Non-Root Install and Upgrade | Couchbase Docs
I’m not sure about getting the installed location…what would you be looking to achieve with that?
i am working a script where i want to get the installed location so that i can read the couchbase conf file without hardcoding the path
Unfortunately it seems that there isn’t a command/file where you can detect this. If you’re scripting the install, presumably you know where it will reside and could maybe write that to a known location at install time?
You can submit an enhancement request at: issues.couchbase.com
If the bin directory is in your path, the ‘which’ command will tell you which directory:
% which cbexport
/Applications/Couchbase Server.app/Contents/Resources/couchbase-core/bin/cbexport
“i am working a script where i want to get the installed location so that i can read the couchbase conf file without hardcoding the path”
I don’t think the config file lives in the installation directory (?)
if linux
rpm -ql couchbase-server | grep couchbase-server | grep -v couchbase-server.service | awk '{print substr($0, 0, (index($0,"/bin"))-1);}'
If need to change (not sure what will be impact) you can use rpm -i --prefix=location , If need you can make symbolic link
I am scripting backup and restore and wanted to know the location of the install. I have multiple clusters and wat to have a generic script for all
Thanks 
But the path is not set for all clusters.
is this command to be run during installation or after installation ?
Run this command after installation
This comment is made based on UNIX rpm. It may not work with couchbase.
