Green Grid Project: Client Install
The Green Grid client side software is currently available in a "beta"
state. The software packages have only been tested on the i386
architecture for these GNU/Linux distributions:
wget http://grid.dartmouth.edu/GreenGrid_installYou will need to use a bourne shell or a bourne compatible shell (bash, ksh, sh, ash) for testing of this package. The package, currently, will require 29MBytes free in your home directory. Check that you have enough space available prior to install if you have a quota system (AFS: fs lq $HOME, NFS/*FS: quota, Normal FS: df -h $HOME) To make GreenGrid_install and executable file, enter the command: chmod +x GreenGrid_install. The software is installed using the Pacman software distribution system. This system will allow users and system administrators to easily update install packages (tar or rpm) from the Green Grid http server. Prior to attempting to install the Green Grid client software please make sure you have the following software available (it is standard with the above Red Hat releases):
The script by default will attempt a user install into your home directory in a sub-directory called GreenGrid. The -server flag will attempt a system-wide install in /usr/local/GreenGrid (not that this has not been tested fully). An example session of installing the Green Grid client is shown here: [jed@mitral jed]$ wget -q http://grid.dartmouth.edu/GreenGrid_install [jed@mitral jed]$ ./GreenGrid_install ----------------------------------------------------- Starting Green Grid Installation (v0.5) ----------------------------------------------------- Performing client install! Do you want to start a new Pacman installation here: [/afs/dbic.dartmouth.edu/ usr/gazzaniga/jed/GreenGrid]? (y or n): y Fetching [DartmouthCA] from [http://grid.dartmouth.edu/pacman/]... Fetching [gsissh-client] from [http://grid.dartmouth.edu/pacman/]... Fetching [gssklog-client] from [http://grid.dartmouth.edu/pacman/]... Fetching [globus] from [http://grid.dartmouth.edu/pacman/]... Package [GreenGridCore] has been installed. Package [DartmouthCA] has been installed. Package [gsissh-client] has been installed. Package [gssklog-client] has been installed. Package [globus] has been installed. Green Grid Client installed. Package [GreenGrid] has been installed. Done. ----------------------------------------------------- Would you like to send post-install email containing the installed packages, kernel version, date, architecture and hostname to the Green Grid team ? (y/n) y Email has been sent Finished install! -----------------------------------------------------Now you can source the Pacman setup file for your shell to set several environment variables: [jed@mitral jed]$ source GreenGrid/setup.shYou should be able to find several of the utilities in your PATH: [jed@mitral jed]$ which grid-proxy-init ~/GreenGrid/globus/bin/grid-proxy-init [jed@mitral jed]$ which gsi-ssh ~/GreenGrid/bin/gsi-ssh [jed@mitral jed]$ which gssklog ~/GreenGrid/bin/gssklog |
