How to build and install PTL from PBS Pro source, and how to create and install a PTL RPM package

Building and Installing PTL from Source

1. Build PTL from Source

  • Go to openpbs/openpbs
  • 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 >=3.6:

CentOS

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

     Also install EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux).  The package name is "epel-release".

OpenSUSE

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

Debian/Ubuntu

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

Inst

**Some of the above mentioned dependencies will require Extra packages for enterprise linux (EPEL) repository installed.

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/python3.6/site-packages/

Creating and Installing RPM Package for PTL

1. Create RPM Package for PTL

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


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

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

2. Install RPM Package

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