The SBGrid Software Suite contains 400+ Scientific software applications for Linux and OS X.
The software can be installed using one of 3 methods:
This is ideal for large labs, shared and departmental installations that use a shared network file storage for their programs. The installation is updated automatically on a monthly basis. This installation is large and can take some time to install.
* Graphical installation for MacOS
The MacOS GUI installation client allows users to select the applications they need when they need them through a MacOS-native graphical client. Applications are updated on a rolling basis and are available to the user at their convenience. Updates are reported to be available, but are managed by the user.
* Command line installation using the SBGrid package mangager for Linux and MacOS
The SBGrid CLI tool allows users to choose the titles they wish to install using a command-line driven package manager. Applications can be installed and updated as convenient. Updates are released on a rolling basis and can be installed by the user as necessary. This client can be made automatic or used in manual mode.
Member labs may use any/all of the installation types above for as many Computers as they require.
The SBGrid Software Suite can run on Linux, OS X and IRIX machines.
We build and test software under 64-bit Red Hat 6. The majority of our Linux users are using the Red Hat/CentOS/Scientific Linux or Fedora distributions, but we also have labs using the software with Ubuntu, Debian and OpenSuSE. We don't explicitly test the software on these distributions, but it is known to work, and we will work to resolve problems reported by users of these Linux distributions.
We officially support the two most recent releases of Red Hat/CentOS/Scientific Linux (currently 6 and 7) and the two most recent releases of Fedora Linux. At this time, only 64-bit versions of linux are fully supported. As of January 2015, we are no longer updating the 32-bit software branch, though we will work to resolve reported problems.
Currently Supported:
We build and test the programs under the most five most recent OS X releases.
Currently Supported:
The OS X PowerPC branch is currently frozen. The applications are stable and work well on our PowerPC hardware, but they are not being updated.
Currently Supported:
The IRIX programs branch is currently frozen. The applications are stable and work well on our SGI hardware, but they are not being updated.
