Reena,

> Are the steps that are outlined in this incident required?

The steps to install the LDM are detailed in the section entitled "Installing,
Configuring, and Activating the LDM System" at
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/index.html>.

> I was able to install LDM successfully by using the /home/ldm directory and 
> doing./ldmadmin start command, also tested that logging is occurring as well.

Good.

> Will something not work if not installing LDM in the /local/ldm path?

The pathname of the LDM user's home directory doesn't affect the proper 
operation
of the LDM -- provided the LDM is installed from source and not by being copied
from another installation that has a different pathname.

Please also see

for tips on troubleshooting the LDM.
