Linux (as root)

For ease of installation on Linux, we provide a script that will automatically download, install and start HTCondor.

Quickstart Installation Instructions

Warning

  • RedHat systems must be attached to a subscription.

  • Debian and Ubuntu containers don't come with curl installed, so run the following first.

    apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl

The command below shows how to download the script and run it immediately; if you would like to inspect it first, see Inspecting the Script <inspecting_the_script>. The default behavior will create a complete HTCondor pool with its multiple roles on one computer, referred to in this manual as a "minicondor." Experienced users who are making an HTCondor pool out of multiple machines should add a flag to select the desired role; see the admin-quick-start for more details.

curl -fsSL https://get.htcondor.org | sudo /bin/bash -s -- --no-dry-run

If you see an error like bash: sudo: command not found, try re-running the command above without the sudo.

Inspecting the Script

If you would like to inspect the script before you running it on your system as root, you can:

  • read the script;
  • compare the script to the versions in our GitHub repository;
  • or run the script as user nobody, dropping the --no-dry-run flag. This will cause the script to print out what it would do if run for real. You can then inspect the output and copy-and-paste it to perform the installation.

Setting Up a Whole Pool

The details of using this installation procedure to create a multi-machine HTCondor pool are described in the admin quick-start guide: admin-quick-start.
