The following documentation was developed for the installation of a GRID tools and certificates on an Ubuntu 12.04 system using a bash shell (using .bashrc as a configuration script). We have not tested the installation using csh derivatives but it is to be expected that not all scripts will work. Thanks to Martin van den Akker for providing notes of his installation procedure. | The following documentation was developed for the installation of a GRID tools and certificates on an Ubuntu 12.04 system using a bash shell (using .bashrc as a configuration script).
