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:

BRB cluster(i.e., scu-login01/02)
Access is managed via modules. To see what’s available:
Request an interactive session on the login node: ie scu-login01/scu-login02
srun -n1 -N1 --cpus-per-task=1 --partition=scu-cpu --mem=4G --pty bash -l
Run the following modules command to selectively view SBGrid-provisioned software:
module avail sbgrid
Software is loaded using standard modules commands, e.g.,
module load sbgrid/relion/4.0.1_cu11.6
If you have any questions or problems, please feel free to reach out to Derek Shore or the SCU.
SBGRID membership is centered around a PI and their lab with an annual membership fee.
