title: Install a compute node
...
-This installation guide assumes you are on a 64 bit Debian or Ubuntu system.
-
h2. Install dependencies
-First add the Arvados apt repository, and then install a number of packages.
+First, "add the appropriate package repository for your distribution":{{ site.baseurl }}/install/install-manual-prerequisites.html#repos.
+
+On Debian-based systems:
<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">echo "deb http://apt.arvados.org/ wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apt.arvados.org.list</span>
-~$ <span class="userinput">sudo /usr/bin/apt-key adv --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv 1078ECD7</span>
-~$ <span class="userinput">sudo /usr/bin/apt-get update</span>
-~$ <span class="userinput">sudo /usr/bin/apt-get install python-pip python-pyvcf python-gflags python-google-api-python-client python-virtualenv libattr1-dev libfuse-dev python-dev python-llfuse fuse crunchstat python-arvados-fuse iptables ca-certificates lxc apt-transport-https docker.io</span>
+<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo apt-get install perl python-virtualenv fuse python-arvados-python-client python-arvados-fuse crunchstat iptables ca-certificates</span>
</code></pre>
</notextile>
-h2. Install slurm and munge
+On Red Hat-based systems:
<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo /usr/bin/apt-get install slurm-llnl munge</span>
+<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo yum install perl python27-python-virtualenv fuse python27-python-arvados-python-client python27-python-arvados-fuse crunchstat iptables ca-certificates</span>
</code></pre>
</notextile>
-h2. Copy configuration files from the dispatcher (api)
+{% include 'note_python27_sc' %}
-The @/etc/slurm-llnl/slurm.conf@ and @/etc/munge/munge.key@ files need to be identicaly across the dispatcher and all compute nodes. Copy the files you created in the "Install the Crunch dispatcher":{{site.baseurl}} step to this compute node.
+h2. Set up Docker
-h2. Crunch user account
+Compute nodes must have Docker installed to run jobs inside containers. This requires a relatively recent version of Linux (at least upstream version 3.10, or a distribution version with the appropriate patches backported). Follow the "Docker Engine installation documentation":https://docs.docker.com/ for your distribution.
-* @adduser crunch@
+For Debian-based systems, the Arvados package repository includes a backported @docker.io@ package with a known-good version you can install.
-The crunch user should have the same UID, GID, and home directory on all compute nodes and on the dispatcher (api server).
+h2. Set up SLURM
+
+Install SLURM following "the same process you used to install the Crunch dispatcher":{{ site.baseurl }}/install/install-crunch-dispatch.html#slurm.
+
+h2. Copy configuration files from the dispatcher (API server)
+
+The @/etc/slurm-llnl/slurm.conf@ and @/etc/munge/munge.key@ files need to be identicaly across the dispatcher and all compute nodes. Copy the files you created in the "Install the Crunch dispatcher":{{site.baseurl}} step to this compute node.
-h2. Configure fuse
+h2. Configure FUSE
Install this file as @/etc/fuse.conf@:
</pre>
</notextile>
+h2. Crunch user account
+
+Create a Crunch user account, and add it to the @fuse@ and @docker@ groups so it can use those tools:
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo useradd --groups fuse,docker crunch</span>
+</code></pre>
+</notextile>
+
+The crunch user should have the same UID, GID, and home directory across all compute nodes and the dispatcher (API server).
+
h2. Tell the API server about this compute node
Load your API superuser token on the compute node:
