Installation

The most current set of instructions can be found here https://github.com/ESGF/esgf-installer/wiki/ESGF-Installation-From-scratch

ESGF Node Installation

The installation is an interactive process where the user is prompted for input. To help manage your expectations of the installation process, the following should give you a ballpark idea:

  • The entire process takes approximately an hour.
  • There are about a 20 prompts for user input - almost all of which have resonable defaults (you can just hit enter - recommended).
  • The lion's share of the time is spent building the various tools and executables (heads up: globus and python take a relatively long time to build).

Operating Systems

we currently support centOS / RedHat / Scientific Linux versions 5 and 6

Prerequisites

Before getting started, you must have the following packages installed on your system. If you have machine or ssh access you can run this preinstaller python script.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/webshootertk/utilitybelt/master/node_checker.py
chmod 755 esgfpreinstaller.py
python esgfpreinstaller.py

it should run out of the box with python 2.6.6 or higher, if not see the scrips wiki page.
