Building and Installing PTL from Source

1. Build PTL from Source

• Go to PBSProopenpbs/pbsproopenpbs
• Run autogen:

      ./autogen.sh

• To install PTL along with PBS Professional, use the "--enable-ptl" option with configure:

      ./configure --prefix=/opt/pbs --enable-ptl

2. Install Package Dependencies

To install PTL package dependencies, run the appropriate installation command as root.  We list them by platform, for Python >=23.6 && < 3.0:

      yum install python-beautifulsoup python2-defusedxml python-nose pexpect

      zypper install python-beautifulsoup python-defusedxml python-nose python-pexpect

      apt-get install python-beautifulsoup python-defusedxml python-nose python-pexpect

3. Make and Install PBS and PTL

• Run "make"
• Run "sudo make install"

PTL gets installed in the parent directory of where PBS Professional is installed. For example if you have given install prefix=/opt/pbs, you can find your PTL installation in the /opt/ptl directory.

4. Update Your Paths

Use the following default path settings:

      export PATH=$PATH:/opt/ptl/bin
      export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/opt/ptl/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Creating and Installing RPM Package for PTL

1. Create RPM Package for PTL

• Go to PBSProopenpbs/pbsproopenpbs
• Run autogen:

      ./autogen.sh

• To install PTL along with PBS Professional, use the "--enable-ptl" option with configure:

      ./configure --prefix=/opt/pbs --enable-ptl

• Run "make dist" command:

      make dist

• Move the generated "pbsproopenpbs-<version>.tar.gz" file to ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
• Copy the pbsproopenpbs.spec file to ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
• Run the “rpmbuild” command with the “–with ptl” argument:

      rpmbuild -ba  pbspro openpbs.spec  --with ptl

The RPM will then be available in the “rpmbuild/RPMS” folder, along with the other pbspro openpbs rpms.

The rpm name for the PTL RPM will be pbsproopenpbs-ptl-<version>.rpm

2. Install RPM Package

Use "yum install" for all the dependencies to install along with the package.
