Install Instructions

Note: "root" user must be used to perform installation

1. Add Condor repository. There is a seperate repository for Development and Stable releases of Condor. If you just want the latest Condor release then please add both repositories.
   
   

   Distribution	Release	Repository	Supported Platforms
   Debian 4 (Etch)	Development	deb http://research.cs.wisc.edu/condor/debian/development/ etch contrib	i386
   	Stable	deb http://research.cs.wisc.edu/condor/debian/stable/ etch contrib
   Debian 5 (Lenny)	Development	deb http://research.cs.wisc.edu/condor/debian/development/ lenny contrib	i386, amd64
   	Stable	deb http://research.cs.wisc.edu/condor/debian/stable/ lenny contrib
   Debian 6 (Squeeze)	Development	deb http://research.cs.wisc.edu/condor/debian/development/ squeeze contrib	amd64
   	Stable	deb http://research.cs.wisc.edu/condor/debian/stable/ squeeze contrib

   
   Example - Lenny: install latest Condor's release

   echo "deb http://research.cs.wisc.edu/condor/debian/stable/ lenny contrib" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
   echo "deb http://research.cs.wisc.edu/condor/debian/development/ lenny contrib" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

   Example - Etch: install only Condor's stable release

   echo "deb http://research.cs.wisc.edu/condor/debian/stable/ etch contrib" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

2. [Optional] Add condor user.
   
   
   The Condor package will automatically add a 'condor' user/group if it does not exist already. Sites with a specific security policy should add the 'condor' user/group manually before performing the installation.
   
   
3. Install Condor package
   

   apt-get update
   apt-get install condor

   
   
4. Check if Condor is running
   

   ps -ef | grep condor

   Expected Result:

   condor     966     1  1 13:07 ?        00:00:08 /usr/sbin/condor_master -pidfile /var/run/condor/master.pid
   condor     967   966  0 13:07 ?        00:00:00 condor_collector -f
   condor     972   966  0 13:07 ?        00:00:00 condor_negotiator -f
   condor     973   966  0 13:07 ?        00:00:00 condor_schedd -f
   condor     974   966  0 13:07 ?        00:00:04 condor_startd -f
   root       975   973  0 13:07 ?        00:00:00 condor_procd -A /var/run/condor/procd_pipe.SCHEDD -S 60 -C 110

5. [Optional] Edit Condor's configuration file which locates at /etc/condor/condor_config.local then restart Condor using commands below
   

   /etc/init.d/condor restart

   This RPM is shipped with the Personal Condor configuration. Please do not use condor_configure or condor_install to configure Condor installed via this Debian package.

• We recommended using Sun Java or its derivatives for runing Condor' Java universe. Condor will use default Java version (according to Debian's alternative system), so please update the default version after you installed a new Java.
