Installation

We recommend to use the conda package manager to install qjob (check this page to install conda). Run this in a terminal to install qjob in your conda environment:

conda install -c mmariotti qjob

Now, before you start using qjob, run this command:

qjob -setup

This will create a qjob configuration file in your home: ~/.qjob.

This file contains all qjob default options for your user. Open the file in any text editor, and check (and modify if necessary) at least these items:

  • sys: your queueing system. Use sge if it is Sun Oracle Engine / Oracle Grid Engine, or slurm if it is the Slurm Workload Manager.
  • q: default queue name to submit jobs to.
  • m: default amount of memory in GB specified per job
  • t: default time limit in hour specified per job
  • p: default number of processors specified per job
  • email: your email for job notifications, if your system implements them

Note that some systems may be configured not to accept some options. If so, use a value of 0 (for integer-type options) or an empty value (for string-type options) to omit that specification.

Qjob includes many other options. Run qjob -h for a summary, and qjob -h full for a full list. At any moment, you may come back and edit the ~/.qjob file to change your default settings.

You're all set! Check the tutorial to start using qjob.
