NorduGrid repository information
Note
If you are looking for testing repo or nightly repo information, please see
The NorduGrid ARC packages are available through YUM and APT repositories for several systems. We have release-based repositories that you can follow. This will keep your install to a particular release of NorduGrid ARC with only minor and bug-fixing updates. You can also choose to follow the repository “latest” which will always point to the latest stable release. For each distribution there are 3 channels (repositories) available:
base - Base packages (mandatory)
updates - Updates to the base release (strongly recommended)
testing - Packages almost ready to go into the updates repository (optional). The alpha, beta and release candidate releases can be found here.
Repository security
The NorduGrid RPM packages and DEB repositories are signed, and in order for the repository tools APT and YUM to verify them you must install the NorduGrid GPG key:
For rpm based distributions like Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora:
[root ~]# rpm --import http://download.nordugrid.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-nordugrid-7
For Ubuntu distributions with sudo:
[user ~]$ wget -q http://download.nordugrid.org/DEB-GPG-KEY-nordugrid-7.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
For Debian without sudo:
[root ~]# wget -q http://download.nordugrid.org/DEB-GPG-KEY-nordugrid-7.asc -O- | apt-key add -
Repository configuration
The NorduGrid ARC repositories for RedHat Enterprise Linux / CentOS packaging utility
dnfcan be configured through:/etc/yum.repos.d/nordugrid.repoThe repository configuration can be set up automatically with dnf by installing the``nordugrid-release`` package or creating the configuration file manually.
The easiest way to configure DNF to use the NorduGrid repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS and similar distributions is to install the
nordugrid-releasepackage which can be found in the NorduGrid package repository for the appropriate RHEL/EPEL release.Links to the release packages:
Install with
dnf(Fedora, CentOS Stream, Rocky Linux, CentOS Linux 8+9) by copying the appropriate link from above[root ~]# dnf install <rhel-repo link>This creates the appropriate repo files in
/etc/yum.repos.d/.For manual YUM repository setup, create a file
/etc/yum.repos.d/nordugrid.repowith the following contents (here using Rocky as example, if you are on Fedora, replacerockywithfedora)If you are installing an alpha, beta or release candiate, please set the nordugrid-testing to
