Install caGrid and Configure a Non-Secure Container Using the caGrid 1.3 Installer

1. Download the caGrid 1.3 Installer. The downloaded installer is contained in caGrid-installer-1.3.zip.
2. Unzip the file caGrid-installer-1.3.zip. This creates the directory caGrid-installer-1.3. This guide refers to that directory as CAGRID_INSTALLER_LOCATION.
3. From a command prompt, launch the installer by entering the following command:
   

    > cd *CAGRID_INSTALLER_LOCATION\\\\\\\* 
    > java -jar caGrid-installer-1.3.jar 

4. Select the I agree to this license checkbox and click  Next.
5. Select the Install/Configure caGrid Software and the Install/Configure Grid Service Container checkboxes and click  Next.
6. The installer detects whether or not you have already installed Ant. It installs or reinstalls it, depending on your installation status. In either case, you must specify the location where you want to install Ant.
7. The installer detects whether or not you have already installed Globus. It installs or reinstalls it, depending on your installation status. In either case, you must specify where you want to install Globus.
8. The installer asks for a location on your local file system to install caGrid. Specify a location to install caGrid and click  Next.
9. The installer displays a list of tasks that the installer will perform. Click  Next to start the installation process.  The installer downloads, builds, and installs several components. Note: This process takes several minutes.
10. Once the installer has completed installing all the components, click  Next.
11. The installer asks which Grid you would like to configure your installation to use. The installer supports configuring caGrid to work out of the box with many community Grid environments. For testing and development purposes we recommend selecting the Training Grid. If you do not want to configure caGrid to work with an existing Grid, you may specify that as well. You can modify the installer to support additional Grids.
12. The installer shows a summary of the tasks to be completed. Click  Next to configure caGrid to use the selected target Grids. Note: This process takes several minutes.
13. Once the installer has finished configuring the target Grid, click  Next.
14. Select the Container where you want to deploy your service. This guide provides instructions for Tomcat. As this container does not ensure security, leave the Should this container be secure? checkbox unchecked and click  Next.
15. In the hostname box, enter the hostname of your server. This should match the hostname you used in creating your host credentials. Click  Next.

    If you plan on using this container to deploy the service registered to an existing grid, it is important to use a publicly resolvable DNS name (or static IP); otherwise, you will need to manually edit configuration files later to correct this.

16. The next screen asks where you want to install Tomcat. In the Directory box, enter a location and then click  Next.
17. The next screen displays a list of tasks that the installer will perform to install and configure Tomcat. Click  Next.
18. Once the installer has completed installing all the components, click  Next.
19. Click  Next. The final screen reminds you to set your ANT_HOME, GLOBUS_LOCATION and CATALINA_HOME environment variables. Set these variables immediately and then click Finish.

    You can find these instructions in CAGRID_POST_INSTALLATION.txt, which is in the directory from which you ran the installer.

20. Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured your Tomcat container. You may now close the installer by clicking  Close.
