Chapter 2: Deploying Torque (Open PBS)

Downloading and Installing Torque

Please make sure that your company/organization can comply with the license.


For this demo the torque tar.gz archive was downloaded using the systemuser account to the systemuser home directory (/home/systemuser) was unpacked, configured, built and installed as the root account but from the systemuser home directory. A typical way of doing this is to use the 'wget' command:

wget http://clusterresources.com/downloads/torque/torque-2.0.0p7.tar.gz

Next as the root user execute the following commands to unpack, configure, build, and install Torque (Open PBS). There will be resulting output from these commands. However they are not shown here.

tar -zxf torque-2.0.0p7.tar.gz
cd torque-2.0.0p7
./configure --prefix=/opt/pbs
make
make install
make packages
./torque-package-clients-linux-i686.sh --install --destdir /opt/pbs
./torque-package-mom-linux-i686.sh --install --destdir /opt/pbs

Note that we have deployed PBS into a non-default location of '/opt/pbs'. Any location will do but for the purposes of this tutorial we will use this location.
