The NorduGrid middleware builds on top of the Globus Toolkit 5™. Packages are available for download from the repositories and NorduGrid downloads area.
The NorduGrid's Globus release is available as pre-build binary packages, either in RPM, DEB or gzipped tar formats. The packages must be installed in the following order:
Binaries are available through the NorduGrid Downloads area under "External software": choose "gpt" and "globus".
To install from RPMs, do:
rpm -Uvh gpt-<version>.rpm
rpm -Uvh globus-<version>.rpm
To install from the binary tarballs, simply unpack the packages.
Make sure that the environment variables GLOBUS_LOCATION and GPT_LOCATION are set according to your Globus installation: unless you forced installation in a specific location, the default locations should be /opt/globus and /opt/gpt respectively.
If you installed Globus from the binary tarballs, execute the post-installation script in $GLOBUS_LOCATION/setup/globus-post-install-script
In addition to the pre-built Globus binary RPMs and tarballs, available for a dozen of GNU/Linux distributions, NorduGrid provides a source RPM for the patched Globus as well (globus-<x.y.z-N>ng). Re-building a single globus-<x.y.z-N>ng RPM requires a functional RPM build environment and prior installation of the following software:
To re-build an RPM from a source tar.gz file, do:
rpmbuild -ta <package>.tar.gz
or, from a .src.rpm, do:
rpmbuild --rebuild <package>.src.rpm
Proceed them with installation as written above.
