6.1 Obtaining & Installing Condor

6.1.1 Where can I download Condor?

Condor can be downloaded from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/downloads (Madison, Wisconsin, USA) or http://www.bo.infn.it/condor-mirror/downloads (a mirror site at the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare in Bologna, Italy).

6.1.2 When I click to download Condor, it sends me back to the downloads page!

If you are trying to download Condor through a web proxy, try disabling it. Our web site uses the ``referring page'' as you navigate through our download menus in order to give you the right version of Condor, but sometimes proxies block this information from reaching our web site.

6.1.3 What platforms do you support?

See Section 1.6, on page .

 

   
6.1.4 Do you distribute source code?

At this time we do not distribute source code publicly, but instead consider requests on a case-by-case basis. If you need the source code, please email us at condor-admin@cs.wisc.edu explaining why, and we'll get back to you.

 

     
6.1.5 What is ``Personal Condor''?

Personal Condor is a term used to describe a specific style of Condor installation suited for individual users who do not have their own pool of machines, but want to submit Condor jobs to run elsewhere.

A Personal Condor is essentially a one-machine, self-contained Condor pool which can use ``flocking'' to access resources in other Condor pools. See Section 3.11.6, on page  for more information on flocking.
