Install Instructions

Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus)

1. Setup the repository
   1. Install the HTCondor repository key

      $ wget -qO - https://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/ubuntu/HTCondor-Release.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

   2. Add the HTCondor repository (running as the root user)

      # echo "deb http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/ubuntu/8.8/xenial xenial contrib" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
      # echo "deb-src http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/ubuntu/8.8/xenial xenial contrib" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

2. Install HTCondor

   $ sudo apt-get update
   $ sudo apt-get install htcondor # or minihtcondor

3. Start it running

   # systemctl start condor
   # systemctl enable condor

4. Check that it is running

   $ ps ax | grep condor

   Note that if condor is NOT running, the only output of this ps command will look like this:

   $ ps auxww | grep condor
   user    1466  0.0  0.0  14736  1048 pts/1    S+   13:05   0:00 grep condor

   If condor is running, you will see several lines of output, something like this:
