Quick start

Note: In addition to ARC itself, a number of Globus packages is needed to enable the Globus Securty Infrastructure (GSI) and the popular GridFTP file transfer protocol. VOMS is needed for Virtual Organisation management, and LFC is needed for data indexing.

For the current production version of ARC, please visit official NorduGrid download site.

GPG Key

Client installation

First, install Globus certificate utilities, you may need them to work with certificates. These utilities are available from official Fedora repositories since Fedora 9.

yum install globus-gsi-cert-utils-progs globus-proxy-utils 

Note: Pay attention to dashes instead of the old Globus-style underscores in package names

Then you'd need keys of potentially relevant Certification Authorities. Get them either from the official NorduGrid download site (see "External software", IGTF), or directly from IGTF:

wget http://dist.eugridpma.info/distribution/current/igtf-policy-installation-bundle-1.40.tar.gz
tar xvzf igtf-policy-installation-bundle-1.40.tar.gz
cd igtf-policy-installation-bundle-1.40
./configure --with-profile=classic
make install

You may need to browse to that repository first and find out what is the most recent version number, instead of 1.40

Then install ARC client itself, which will pull in other necessary packages (Globus plugins need to be requested explicitly):

yum install nordugrid-arc-client nordugrid-arc-plugins-globus

You may also want to install VOMS client tools (providing e.g. voms-proxy-init):

yum install voms-clients
