Note: This version of the VDT (1.1.14) is no longer supported. Feel free to look through the documentation and install it, but we cannot guarantee support for it. The current stable release is 2.0.0.

Installing Individual VDT Components

Some users have asked for the ability to avoid installing the complete VDT. In response to these requests, VDT 1.1.14 allows you to install one or more of the following components individually:

Chimera
Condor
EDG-Make-Gridmap
EDG-CRL-Update
Fault-Tolerant-Shell
Globus
GSIOpenSSH
KX509
MonaLisa
MyProxy
PyGlobus
PyGlobusURLCopy

UberFTP

Details

The procedure for installing individual components is exactly the same as the procedure for Installing the complete VDT. The only difference is, that instead of using pacman -get VDT you provide the indiviual package name(s) (exactly as specified in the list above) e.g.:

pacman -get VDT:MyProxy

This will cause VDT to install the specified component(s) and any dependencies they require (e.g. MonaLisa requires Java), into the current location. The (abridged) setup.sh / setup.csh will be created as always.

Notes

If you install Condor and Globus separately (instead of the full VDT) and would like to be able to have the Globus gatekeeper submit jobs to Condor (via jobmanager-condor), you must also install Globus-Condor-Setup package manually. This package is installed automatically if you're installing the full VDT.
In the process of installing individual components, you might be asked questions which are not relevant to the components you are installing. Ignore them (choose skip).
