BioSimGrid: a distributed database for biomolecular simulations

Standalone version of BioSimGrid

The standalone version of BioSimGrid has been tested on a reference platform of OpenSuSE 10.0 OSS. This can be downloaded from the OpenSuSE website at no charge. This may well work on other platforms but it has not been tested on anything other than the OpenSuSE platform previously mentioned. The documentation supplied presumes that you are using this system to install BioSimGrid.

There are many dependencies for BioSimGrid primarily because it has a very broad scope. Be aware that the package for BioSimGrid itself does not differ between the standalone version and the distributed version (except that the distributed package has been built for Python 2.3, and the standalone for Python 2.4). The standalone version is running as a sort of 'loopback' version.

Please read all supplied documentation before proceeding with the installation. Ideally, you should install this on a 'fresh' machine. If you reinstall using this supplied installer, then you will lose all the metadata from the previous installation. This means that if you install this once, deposit some trajectories, then reinstall it, those trajectories will be lost and you will need to start over.

After downloading all the files listed below and indicated in the README which we are not allowed to distribute (SRB and Oracle XE), these should be placed in the directory /tmp/bsgsource/ on your target machine. Edit the file parameters very carefully. Verify that the hostname of your machine is in the 'long' format. If not, set this with hostname biosimgrid.example.ac.uk as indicated in the README file and the OpenSuSE installation instructions provided.

Once this has been done, you can launch the installer with sh ./standalone-install.sh.
