%ICON{stop}% See also the [[AtlasCanada/Install_gLite_UI][yum method]] for installing this. The method described here is for a single user without root access, or if you have to support x86_64 machines. Note that [[manageTier3SW]] will now install this for you so this page is obsolete and no longer kept up-to-date.

   * fetch the files from the [[https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/UiTarInstall][LCG site]] and unpack:
<verbatim>
mkdir -p /atlas/ATLASLocalRootBase/i686/gLite/src
cd /atlas/ATLASLocalRootBase/i686/gLite/src
(wget the files)
cd ..
mkdir 3.1.0-1
cd 3.1.0-1
gtar zxf ../src/glite-UI-3.1.0-1-external.tar.gz 
gtar zxf ../src/glite-UI-3.1.0-1.tar.gz </verbatim>

   * create a file gLite/site-info.def such as [[%ATTACHURL%/site-info.def][this one]].

   * run the installation configuration:
<verbatim>
 ./glite/yaim/bin/yaim -c -s glite/site-info.def  -n UI_TAR</verbatim>

The location of the !grid_env.[c]sh script, which you will have to source to use grid tools, will depend on how it is set in site-info.def. In the example above, it will be in etc/profile.d.

Note that this will also create an entry in your crontab.

%ICON{note}% If you are installing this tarball to share with other users, or for a cluster, please note that you need to make the following directory and files contained inside belong to root:

<verbatim>
    chown -R root:root <path to your glite installation>/glite/etc/vomses</verbatim>
