Install Instructions

EL7 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, CentOS 7, Scientific Linux 7)

1. Setup the repositories
   1. Install EPEL repository (as the root user or use sudo)

      yum install -y https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

   2. Install the HTCondor repository (as the root user or use sudo)

      yum install -y https://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/repo/8.8/el7/release/htcondor-release-8.8-1.el7.noarch.rpm

2. Install HTCondor (as the root user or use sudo)

   yum install -y minicondor # or condor

   The minicondor is preconfigured for a single node pool. The condor package, for a multi-node pool, requires additional configuration to become functional - please see the HTCondor Manual.
3. Start it running (as the root user or use sudo)

   systemctl start condor # starts HTCondor now via systemd, or do "condor_master" without systemd
   systemctl enable condor # Make HTCondor start automatically via systemd when booting

4. Check that it is running (as a normal user)

   condor_q # Should list out the jobs in the pool

   condor_status # Should list out the nodes in the pool

   You may also check HTCondor's systemd status (as the root user or use sudo)

   systemctl status condor
