SBGrid site installation for BRB cluster
Regarding, personal computers/workstations:
You can install SBGrid on individual machines (and select only the software you want). A few small caveats:
You’ll need to create an account with SBGrid: https://sbgrid.org/registration/register/
Every member of a lab that wants to install SBGrid on a personal/work laptop should do this
Once they review the submitted form, they will send you the credentials you need to use the software on your machine.
Note: using an individual installation of SBGrid is primarily handy for GUI-intensive applications (e.g., Schrödinger, PyMol, etc.); however, it could be difficult to run analysis on local machines, unless the data is on that machine.
Once you have the needed credentials, you can install SBGrid using the instructions found here:
