Note: This version of the VDT (1.2.3) 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 1.2.3 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).
