Downloads

These are all what you might call "early alpha" releases. They are mainly for testing. Detailed installation instructions can be found here.

1. Version 0.2rc12 (20070717)
2. Version 0.2rc6 (20070419)
3. Version 0.2rc5 (20070414)
4. Version 0.2rc3 (20070410)

Upgrading to RC12 from a previous version

1. Download tarball for 0.2rc12 from above link
2. Make a copy of $GWIZ_HOME/conf/auth-info.xml
3. Make a copy of $GWIZ_HOME/conf/cluster.xml
4. Save anything else in GWIZ_HOME you want to keep
5. Delete your GWIZ_HOME directory
6. Untar the tarball
7. Replace those TWO configuration files into $GWIZ_HOME/conf
8. IMPORTANT! You need to perform the same procedure on all of the compute clusters you will run applications on. If you don't do this, GWiz will not be able to run your computational jobs.

Installing RC11 a-fresh

1. Download tarball for 0.2rc12 from above link into your home directory
2. Untar the tarball
3. Set GWIZ_HOME in your environment to /home/you/gwiz
4. Edit conf/auth-info.xml according to the wiki documentation
5. Edit conf/cluster.xml according to the wiki documentation
6. IMPORTANT! You need to perform the same procedure on all of the compute clusters you will run applications on. If you don't do this, GWiz will not be able to run your computational jobs.

Upgrading to RC6 from a previous version

1. Downlaod tarball from above link
2. Make a copy of $GWIZ_HOME/conf!
3. Delete $GWIZ_HOME/gwiz*.jar
4. Untar the tarball into $GWIZ_HOME
5. Move your copied conf file back
6. IMPORTANT! You need to repeat this step on all of your compute resources. That is, ssh into, say, birn-cluster0, and curl -O http://www.gridwizard.org/downloads/gwiz-0.2rc6.tar.gz, then rm $GWIZ_HOM/gwiz-*.jar; tar xvfz gwiz-0.2rc6.tar.gz

Quick install

1. Download tarball from above link
2. Decide on a GWIZ_HOME directory; ~/gwiz is a pretty good one.
3. Move any existing install out of the way: mv ~/gwiz ~/gwiz.backup
4. Untar the tarball: % tar xvfz gwiz-XXXX.tar.gz
5. Move that resulting directory to GWIZ_HOME: % mv gwiz-XXXX ~/gwiz.
6. Set the GWIZ_HOME environment variable to the appropriate value in your .bashrc or .cshrc file.
7. Repeat these steps on every computational resource you plan to use.
8. Configure GWiz.

Dev snapshots

If you have found a bug in one of the established versions above, you might want to try the development snapshots. These aren't packaged nicely for you, but you can very easily get the most recent copy from our Subversion server as follows:

% svn co http://svn.gridwizard.org/gridwizard/trunk gwiz-dev
% cd gwiz-dev
% ant pkg

This should give you a working copy of the most recent checkin. Of course, this makes configuration a real pain, because now you have the directory you're developing in, and then all of your compute resources have an older copy. Depending on what you're changing (file staging versus, say, scheduling) this can make development a bit of a mess.
