Installation

You needs the following prerequisites:

• Cmake
• FUSE
• SAGA (Boost required)
• Condor or another grid solution

Linux

Cmake and FUSE are part of distribution packages. You need also development versions of these packages.

SAGA is mainly available in form of source code, there are no official packages. For Gento users I've created rough Saga ebuilds.

Packages for Condor is bit hard to find. You can use precompiled official packages of Condor (sort of registration required).

Gentoo users can use "science" overlay. There is fetch restriction, so you have to manually download source package to /usr/portage/distfiles and run

 layman -a science
 emerge -vat sys-cluster/condor

MAC OS X

You should install package manager for MAC OS X, for example Homebrew. FUSE, Cmake and Saga are supported by Homebrew. After installing Homebrew and Xcode, just run

 brew install fuse
 brew install cmake
 brew install saga

Than you have to download saga-adaptor-condor from Saga download page and install it using "Holy Unix Trinity"

 ./configure
 make
 make install

If your compilation fail because of one missing header, download and extract the missing header from Saga-core source package.

For Condor you can use official precompiled packages. After extracting tar.gzip archive, run ./condor_install --prefix=/usr/local to install Condor. Then you have to modify Condor global and local configuration files. You can start Condor by running condor_master.

Used Grids

Using SAGA backend we can support all the grids SAGA has adaptor for. Following grids were tested and should be working.

Condor

Status: Working

Note: The Saga backend needs some configuration tweaks.
