Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus)

  1. Setup the repository
    1. Install the HTCondor repository key
      $ wget -qO - https://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/ubuntu/HTCondor-Release.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
    2. Add the HTCondor repository (running as the root user)
      # echo "deb http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/ubuntu/8.9/xenial xenial contrib" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
      # echo "deb-src http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/ubuntu/8.9/xenial xenial contrib" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
  2. Install HTCondor
    $ sudo apt-get update
    $ sudo apt-get install condor
  3. Check that it is running
    $ ps ax | grep condor
    Note that if condor is NOT running, the only output of this ps command will look like this:
    $ ps auxww | grep condor
