Guide for installing the OSG Client Installation at UCSD

Contents

Introduction

This document outlines site specific details for installing an OSG Client at UCSD

Install Pacman

Always get the latest pacman. Here is the OSG page on Pacman

Using the Existing Condor Install

UCSD updates condor independently of the VDT and uses a centralized system for managing configurations. In order to use the existing condor you must set the following environment variables.

export VDTSETUP_CONDOR_LOCATION=/condor/release/
export VDTSETUP_CONDOR_CONFIG=/etc/condor/condor_config

Note: Settings these variables breaks pacman updating completely as far as I can tell

Pacman Commands For Installation

After sourcing your pacman environment run these pacman commands. Yes the setting of the http proxy twice is intentional...

pacman -http-proxy http://clarens-1.local:3128;pacman -http-proxy http://clarens-1.local:3128;
pacman -get OSG:client

Installing SRM Client

Since srm client is not currently in OSG 0.4.1 you have to install it seperately. Source your pacman install and then run

pacman -get OSG:srm-cp
