Setting up a computer for sbgrid (Fedora 7)

[unfinished - work in progress] 

 Preparing a fedora 7 linux computer for stereo molecular modelling.

1) install all linux updates

  • yum update

2) Disable selinux

3) Get Livna rpm for fedora 7 - this will allow yum to automatically connect to the livna repositories

4) Install livna nvidia drivers - Assuming the installed hardware has a stereo capable nvidia card

  • yum install kmod-nvidia

5) set up xorg.conf files - can use nvidia-xconfig command for more userfriendly autoconfig.

Livna display configuration - disable all (gdm etc)

If using sbgrid, copy /programs from a donor computer.

6) In the file /etc/csh.cshrc , add this line to the end of the file:

source /programs/labcshrc

This will allow for the sbgrid programs to be called upon from anywhere.
