How to install OpenPBS 20.0.1 on ubuntu

 

I tried so much to install new version of OpenPBS and I encountered many errors. I will tell them so you can install easily.

Section 1 — Install Packages

sudo apt-get install gcc make libtool libhwloc-dev libx11-dev libxt-dev libedit-dev libical-dev ncurses-dev perl python-dev tcl-dev tk-dev swig libexpat-dev libssl-dev libxext-dev libxft-dev autoconf automake

Section 2 — Install PostgreSQL

We have to install PostgreSQL . I recommend to install PostgreSQL seperately.

# Create the file repository configuration:
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt $(lsb_release -cs)-pgdg main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list'

# Import the repository signing key:
wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -

# Update the package lists:
sudo apt-get update

Install the latest version of PostgreSQL

sudo apt-get -y install postgresql

If you want another version, you can use ‘postgresql-12’ instead of postgresql like this:

sudo apt-get -y install postgresql-12

Install dependencies

sudo apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-all
sudo apt-get install postgresql-contrib

Section 3— Install the prerequisite packages for running OpenPBS

sudo apt-get install expat libedit2  python sendmail-bin sudo tcl tk

Section 4 — Upgrade python 2 to python 3

If your system has 2(or more) versions of python it can be problem. I got error when my python version was 2.7 so i changed it and vola everything works.

Probably you will encounter this problem:

shared_python_utils.c:42:10: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory

I searched this problem so much i didn’t find exact solution but I know this problem related with libraries. So what i did ? I changed python version 2.7 to 3.6. I didn’t checked 3.7+ versions If you test it tell me.

Solution:

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 1
sudo apt-get install python3-dev

Note: Actually you can ignore this section and continue to doing other steps. But if you get this error you will have to delete extracted openPBS folder and do these operations again. After it will work.
My advice: If it is not important change python 2 to 3 in these section and go on peacefully.

Section 5—Download OpenPBS and install

You can download with these command or you can go website and download from there. Also github release files link which you can download from there.

cd Downloads/
sudo wget https://github.com/openpbs/openpbs/archive/refs/tags/v20.0.1.tar.gz

Extract files and enter OpenPBS folder.

tar -xpvf v20.0.1.tar.gz 
cd openpbs-20.0.1/

Generate the configure script and Makefiles.

./autogen.sh

Configure the build for your environment

./configure --prefix=/opt/pbs

Build OpenPBS by running “make”.

make

Install OpenPBS

sudo make install

Configure

sudo /opt/pbs/libexec/pbs_postinstallsudo chmod 4755 /opt/pbs/sbin/pbs_iff     /opt/pbs/sbin/pbs_rcp

Start services

sudo /etc/init.d/pbs start

All configured. OpenPBS services should now be running

. /etc/profile.d/pbs.sh

Section 6 — Test

qstat -B

Output:
