LIGO Workflow Planner

Software Requirements for Running the Planner including Condor-G/DAGMan, VDS and Globus on Client Machine

The following prerequisites must be present in your system prior to the next step.
  1. Pacman 3.16.1 (http://physics.bu.edu/~youssef/pacman)
  2. compat-libstdc++-33, compatibility standard C++ libraries
  3. compat-gcc-32-c++, C++ support for compatibility compiler
  4. compat-libgcc-296, compatibility 2.96-RH libgcc library
  5. tcl-8.4.9-3.src, Tcl scripting language development environment

You can issue the following commands to find out if your system has the above compatibility libraries:

	yum list compat-*

Once, the above prerequisites have been installed, proceed to the next step.


Condor-G/DAGMan, VDS, Globus Toolkit and TclGlobus Installation

Follow this instruction on how to install VDT 1.3.11 with Pacman. Workflow client software DOES NOT need all VDT 1.3.11 components. You only need to retrieve the following components:
  • Condor 6.7.20
  • Globus Toolkit 4.0.2
  • VDS-1.4.6
  • TclGlobus 1.3.0

Follow the following steps to get the above components:

    	% cd /path/to/vdt
    
    	% pacman -get http://vdt.cs.wisc.edu/vdt_1311_cache:Condor
    	% pacman -get http://vdt.cs.wisc.edu/vdt_1311_cache:VDS
    	% pacman -get http://vdt.cs.wisc.edu/vdt_1311_cache:Globus-Base-SDK
    	% pacman -get http://vdt.cs.wisc.edu/vdt_1311_cache:Globus-Client
    	% pacman -get http://vdt.cs.wisc.edu/vdt_1311_cache:Globus-RLS-Client
    

To install the latest version of TclGlobus, Version 1.3.0, please follow the TclGlobus install instructions.


How to Get LIGO Workflow Planner

LIGO Workflow Planner source tarball can be downloaded from the following link:

	LIGO Work Flow Planner source tarball

This source tarball contains the stable version of the planner prepared for face-to-face meeting between LIGO and ISI engineers on July 20, 2006. We are planning to add some relevant information once the project reaches maturity in the future


How to Run LIGO Workflow Planner

After downloading LIGO Workflow source tarball, you can issue the following command to untar the sources:

	tar -zxvf LIGOWorkFlowPlanner.tar.gz

This will create a directory called LIGOWorkFlowPlanner. Go to that directory and issue the following command to run the planner:

	./gridClient &
