## Grid Engine Binary Downloads

### General Instructions for Downloads

You can download most files by clicking on their corresponding links. In some cases, this will launch a browser's plug-in such as Adobe Acrobat for PDF files, or an archive extractor for ZIP files. If you prefer to download a file rather than viewing it with your browser's plug-in, click on the right mouse button, and select Save Link As for Netscape® or Save Target As for Microsoft® Internet Explorer to specify where the file will be saved on your system.

Binaries from this page are available under the terms of a Sun Binary Code License.

4. Installation

Unpacking the files

All files must be unpacked to a directory which is accessible from all machines which use Grid Engine. For execution hosts this directory should be read/write exported for the root user.

create SGE_ROOT directory (and export it for NFS access if necessary)

    % mkdir <your_gridengine_root_direcotry>
    % cd <your_gridengine_root_direcotry>

unpack the "common" files

    % gzip -dc sge-<version>-common.tar.gz | tar xvf -

unpack the binaries for all architectures

    % gzip -dc sge-<version>-bin-<arch>.tar.gz | tar xvf -

It's recommended to add the service

           sge_commd xxx/tcp

to your services database (/etc/services or at your NIS server). You should use an unused number below 1024.
If you don't want to add this service, you will be prompted for a port number during installation.

Install Grid Engine

Run the script "inst_sge" in the $SGE_ROOT directory to install Grid Engine. The scripts install_qmaster and install_execd can be used as a shortcut. In Grid Engine mode you just install as described in the next intended paragraph.
Only for Grid Engine Enterprise Edition you have to make slight modifications:
% cd $SGE_ROOT
% ln -s inst_sge inst_sgeee
% replace inst_sge with inst_sgeee in the last line of the files install_qmaster and install_execd
Then you can proceed as with the standard Grid Engine installation.

First run

         % ./install_qmaster

on the machine where the Grid Engine master daemon (sge_qmaster) will run.

The script asks you to add one queue for each host, where you plan to install an execution host.

On all hosts (including the qmaster machine) on which you want to execute jobs, run the the script

         %./install_execd

The "Quick Start Guide" in the Grid Engine manual (which is included as a postscript file in the doc/ directory of your distribution) contains more information about installing Grid Engine.
