< Getting started with SweGrid
Installing from package repositories
The easiest way of installing the ARC middleware is by using the available apt- and yum-repositories. Before using these repositories the NorduGrid GPG-key must be installed to verify the installed packages. The GPG-key is installed using the following procedures:
For apt-based distributions (Ubuntu, Debian):
wget -q http://download.nordugrid.org/DEB-GPG-KEY-nordugrid.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
For yum-based distributions (Fedora, CentOS):
sudo rpm --import http://download.nordugrid.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-nordugrid
Installing from a yum-based repository
A yum repository is added by creating a file nordugrid.repo in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory. The file should contain the following (Fedora):
[nordugrid] name=NorduGrid - $basearch - stable baseurl=http://download.nordugrid.org/repos/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/stable enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://download.nordugrid.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-nordugrid [nordugrid-testing] name=NorduGrid - $basearch - testing baseurl=http://download.nordugrid.org/repos/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/testing # Always make sure nordugrid stable repo is enabled enabled=0 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://download.nordugrid.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-nordugrid
For CentOS 5 or RHEL 5:
[nordugrid] name=NorduGrid - $basearch - stable baseurl=http://download.nordugrid.org/repos/redhat/el5/$basearch/stable enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://download.nordugrid.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-nordugrid [nordugrid-testing] name=NorduGrid - $basearch - testing baseurl=http://download.nordugrid.org/repos/redhat/el5/$basearch/testing # Always make sure nordugrid stable repo is enabled enabled=0 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://download.nordugrid.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-nordugrid
Installing the ARC middleware can now be done using the following commands:
sudo yum groupinstall "ARC Client"
=== Installing from a apt-based repository <ref>Much of this section is adapted from the NDGF wiki </ref> ===
To add the repositories in Ubuntu or Debian add the following lines:
deb http://download.nordugrid.org/repos/ubuntu/ lucid main deb-src http://download.nordugrid.org/repos/ubuntu/ lucid main
in the /etc/apt/sources.list file. Replace lucid with intrepid, dapper, gutsy, hardy, jaunty or karmic as appropriate. When these lines have been added the local apt-database have to be updated using the following command:
$ sudo apt-get update
First we install the Globus certificate utilities:
sudo apt-get install globus-gsi-cert-utils-progs sudo apt-get install globus-proxy-utils
Next, we install the CA certificate needed for SweGrid:
sudo apt-get install ca-policy-igtf-classic ca-policy-igtf-mics ca-policy-igtf-slcs
To make sure that we don't trust revoced certificates we also install the nordugrid-ca-utils package which is used to maintain the certificate revocation lists:
sudo apt-get install nordugrid-arc-ca-utils
Finally we install the ARC client software itself:
sudo apt-get install nordugrid-arc-client
This command will also pull in any extra packages needed for the client software.
Client configuration
The configuration file for ARC is located in $HOME/.arc/client.conf. A typical configuration file for SweGrid is shown below:
[common] [common] defaultservices=index:ARC0:ldap://index1.swegrid.se:2135/Mds-Vo-name=SweGrid,o=grid index:ARC0:ldap://index1.swegrid.se:2135/Mds-Vo-name=SweGrid,o=grid
The giis attribute sets the information system URL:s used for job brokering and information. The debug attribute sets the amount of debug messages shown when using the ARC command line tools. debug=0 turns debug messages off. timeout is the timeout value in seconds for how long the commandline tools should wait for a response from a resource before giving up.
More configuration options are available. Please check the NorduGrid User's Guide for more information.
