<p>Folks,</p>
<p>I've written a new wiki page on <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://halldweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/HOWTO_Install_and_Use_the_CVMFS_Client">HOWTO
Install and Use the CVMFS Client</a>. There are two components
to the instructions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Installing CVMFS: gives you a mount of /group/halld on your
local machine.</li>
<li>Running a Singularity container: gives you a CentOS 7 system,
independent of whatever native system you are running.</li>
</ol>
<p>With these two features, you basically get the ifarm on your
local machine.</p>
<p>From the wiki page:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We use CVMFS to distribute our software at remote productions
sites, like the OSG and NERSC. Binaries, resource files, CCDB
SQLite, and helper scripts are all available via CVMFS. This
HOWTO will describe how to install the CVMFS client on a local
Linux machine. After that, all of the pieces needed to build and
run GlueX software locally on the machine are available if the
native OS is CentOS 7 Linux. If some other OS is run on the
local machine, and singularity is available, CVMFS itself will
provide a CentOS 7 singularity container that can be used to run
the GlueX software. <br>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Let me know if you have questions or run into difficulties with
the HOWTO.</p>
