    cd ge6.2u2_1
    

  • Create directory /usr/local/SGE and uncompress the two archives into it:
    mkdir /usr/local/SGE
    cp ge-6.2u2_1-bin-lx24-amd64.tar.gz /usr/local/SGE
    cp ge-6.2u2_1-common.tar.gz /usr/local/SGE
    cd /usr/local/SGE
    tar -zxvf ge-6.2u2_1-bin-lx24-amd64.tar.gz

  • Add both the desktop and the node to the list of administrative hosts. Add the parrallel environment for MPI.
    qconf -ah  desktop01
    qconf -ah node01
    qconf -Ap ompi_par.txt
    

    ./install_execd 
    

  • include the following line in file /etc/profile
      . /usr/local/SGE/default/common/settings.sh
    

  • Archive the installation, copy it onto node01 daemon
    cd /usr/local
    tar -zcvf SGE.tar SGE
    scp SGE.tar root@node01:/usr/local
    

  • On the node, run installation of the execution daemon
    cd /usr/local
    tar -zxvf SGE.tar
    cd SGE
    ./install_execd
