Working with HTCondor

HTCondor

(Do see the problem section in the end)

As a part of my lab assignment, I'm working on HTCondor.
The first step is to install it.

1. Make sure that your ubuntu version is not older than 11.10, since the versions of HTCondor available are not compatible with older versions.

2. Download the .deb file of appropriate version of Condor from here..

After you have downloaded it, you can simply double-click the .deb file which will open the Ubuntu Software Centre from where you can install the file.






Error/Problem Section

1. It is necessary to have the correct debian file according to the version of Ubuntu. For Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04, use HTCondor 7.8.8 only.

2. You may get error as - unmet dependencies, for that, run the following commands

  • sudo apt-get clean
  • sudo apt-get autoclean
  • sudo apt-get -f install
  • sudo dpkg --configure -a
and try re-installing.

Hope all's well..!!
