Installing Condor in OSX 10.5

I found this process in a weird place on condor's site ... it was in the tutorials under Administration Tutorial. At the same time this worked. The only thing I did differently was to download the Condor package for Intel Mac 10.4. Sorry but you will have to do all of this from the terminal window. Beyond that everything else worked. So here is my "workflow" lol...

  1. Downloaded Condor for Intel Mac 10.4 (In my case I used 7.0.5).
  2. Opened terminal (Hard drive --> Applications --> Utilities --> Terminal)
  3. Logged in to my root account with "su" and then typed in my password (If you dont know your root password your boned lol ok seriously you need to either see your system administrator or try this out http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/os-x-operating-system/5331-how-do-i-reset-root-password.html but if your root account just isnt on check out this link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1528)
  4. Type "useradd condor" and press [Enter]
  5. Type "chmod a+rx ~condor" and press [Enter]
  6. Type "cd /" and press [Enter]
  7. Type "mkdir condor" and press [Enter]
  8. Type "cd /condor" and press [Enter]
  9. Type "cp /Users/jeaimepowell/Desktop/condor-7.0.5-MacOSX10.4-x86-dynamic.tar.gz /condor/" and press [Enter]
  10. Type "tar -xzf condor-7.0.5-MacOSX10.4-x86-dynamic.tar.gz " and press [Enter]
  11. Type "cd condor-7.0.5" and press [Enter]
  12. Type "./condor_configure --install --install-dir=/condor/condor \ --local-dir=/condor/condor/var --owner=condor
    " and press [Enter] (I got some errors but it installed)
  13. Type "ln -s /condor/condor/etc/condor_config ~condor/" and press [Enter]
  14. Type "PATH=$PATH:/condor/condor/bin/:/condor/condor/sbin/" and press [Enter]
  15. Type "nano /condor/condor/etc/condor_config" and press [Enter]
  16. Look through the file in Part 2 until you find "HOSTALLOW_WRITE =" and remover the text after it and just have a "*"
  17. Press [ctrl] [x] and press "Y" then hit [enter] twice
  18. Type "condor_master" and press [Enter]
  19. Type "ps -ef |grep condor" and press [Enter] (you should see a bunch of condor processes running
  20. After a half a minute or so you should be able to type "condor_status" and actually see your machine on the node.
  21. You are done!
