From ATLAS-TRIUMF

[edit] Ganga

Ganga is a nice user interface which will let you submit jobs to your local machine, your local batch system, or the Grid (via LCG or Cronus).

If your computer is in the TRIUMF ATLAS cluster, you do not need to install Ganga locally. You can set it up as follows:

export ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE=/atlas/ATLASLocalRootBase
source ${ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE}/user/atlasLocalSetup.sh
(Set up Athena and cd $TestArea if you want to run an athena job)
localSetupGLite
voms-proxy-init -voms atlas:/atlas/ca
localSetupGanga
ganga

You should modify your .gangarc file so that in the Athena section, ATLAS_SOFTWARE = /atlas/ATLASLocalRootBase/i686/Athena/Multi_SL4

(we don't have Cronus set up on the cluster yet...)

If you want to go ahead and install it yourself, here's how:

[edit] Ganga Installation

First, download the latest version of Ganga following the instructions.

A tutorial for the latest Ganga version will help you get started.

Ganga will only be able to run Athena if you have installed athena.

It will only be able to submit LCG ATLAS jobs if you have installed an LCG UI (How to setup an LCG UI on your desktop) and joined the ATLAS VO (joining the ATLAS VO).

It will only be able to submit Cronus jobs if you have installed a Cronus UI (How to setup a Cronus User Interface) and got Rod to make all the necessary authorizations.
