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
