== Installing from package repositories ==
 
 
 
The easiest way of installing the ARC middleware is by using the available apt- and yum-repositories. Before using these repositories the NorduGrid GPG-key must be installed to verify the installed packages. The GPG-key is installed using the following procedures:
 
 
 
For apt-based distributions (Ubuntu, Debian):
 
 
 
<pre>wget -q http://download.nordugrid.org/DEB-GPG-KEY-nordugrid.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -</pre>
 
For yum-based distributions (Fedora, CentOS):
 
 
 
<pre>sudo rpm --import http://download.nordugrid.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-nordugrid</pre>
 
=== Installing from a yum-based repository ===
 
 
 
A yum repository is added by creating a file ''nordugrid.repo'' in the ''/etc/yum.repos.d'' directory. The file should contain the following (Fedora):
 
 
 
<pre>[nordugrid]
 
name=NorduGrid - $basearch - stable
 
baseurl=http://download.nordugrid.org/repos/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/stable
 
enabled=1
 
gpgcheck=1
 
gpgkey=http://download.nordugrid.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-nordugrid
 
 
 
[nordugrid-testing]
 
name=NorduGrid - $basearch - testing
 
baseurl=http://download.nordugrid.org/repos/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/testing
 
# Always make sure nordugrid stable repo is enabled
 
enabled=0
 
gpgcheck=1
 
gpgkey=http://download.nordugrid.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-nordugrid</pre>
 
For CentOS 5 or RHEL 5:
 
 
 
<pre>[nordugrid]
 
name=NorduGrid - $basearch - stable
 
baseurl=http://download.nordugrid.org/repos/redhat/el5/$basearch/stable
 
enabled=1
 
gpgcheck=1
 
gpgkey=http://download.nordugrid.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-nordugrid
 
 
 
[nordugrid-testing]
 
name=NorduGrid - $basearch - testing
 
baseurl=http://download.nordugrid.org/repos/redhat/el5/$basearch/testing
 
# Always make sure nordugrid stable repo is enabled
 
enabled=0
 
gpgcheck=1
 
gpgkey=http://download.nordugrid.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-nordugrid</pre>
 
Installing the ARC middleware can now be done using the following commands:
 
 
 
<pre>sudo yum groupinstall &quot;ARC Client&quot;</pre>
 
=== Installing from an apt-based repository ===
 
Much of this section is adapted from the [http://wiki.nordugrid.org/index.php/Ubuntu NDGF wiki].
 
The page, [http://download.nordugrid.org/repos-12.05.html page], describes how to configure the repository depending on your installed Debian/Ubuntu release.
 
 
 
When your apt-get config is set, issue the following command to update you packages repository:
 
 
 
<pre>$ sudo apt-get update</pre>
 
 
 
When this is done we start installing the required software. First we install the Globus certificate utilities:
 
 
 
<pre>sudo apt-get install globus-gsi-cert-utils-progs
 
sudo apt-get install globus-proxy-utils </pre>
 
Next, we install the CA certificate needed for SweGrid:
 
 
 
<pre>sudo apt-get install ca-policy-igtf-classic ca-policy-igtf-mics ca-policy-igtf-slcs</pre>
 
To make sure that we don't trust revoced certificates we also install the nordugrid-ca-utils package which is used to maintain the certificate revocation lists:
 
 
 
<pre>sudo apt-get install nordugrid-arc-ca-utils</pre>
 
Finally we install the ARC client software itself:
 
 
 
<pre>sudo apt-get install nordugrid-arc-client-tools</pre>
 
This command will also pull in any extra packages needed for the client software.
 
 
 
== Client configuration ==
 
 
 
The configuration file for ARC is located in ''$HOME/.arc/client.conf''. A typical configuration file for SweGrid is shown below:
 
 
 
<pre>[common]
 
defaultservices=index:ARC0:ldap://index1.swegrid.se:2135/Mds-Vo-name=SweGrid,o=grid
 
  index:ARC0:ldap://index2.swegrid.se:2135/Mds-Vo-name=SweGrid,o=grid
 
</pre>
 
The ''giis'' attribute sets the information system URL:s used for job brokering and information. The ''debug'' attribute sets the amount of debug messages shown when using the ARC command line tools. <tt>debug=0</tt> turns debug messages off. ''timeout'' is the timeout value in seconds for how long the commandline tools should wait for a response from a resource before giving up.
 
 
 
More configuration options are available. Please check the [http://www.nordugrid.org/documents/userguide.pdf NorduGrid User's Guide] for more information.
 
 
 
== Verifying installation ==
 
 
 
The installation can be veified using the '''arcinfo''' command. If everything is configured correctly and you have been added to the SweGrid VO the '''arcinfo''' command you display the following output:
 
 
 
<pre>user@centos6 ~]$ arcinfo
 
Execution Service: siri.lunarc.lu.se
