Linux (from our repositories)

If you’re not already familiar with HTCondor, we recommend you follow our instructions for your first installation.

If you’re looking to automate the installation of HTCondor using your existing toolchain, the latest information is embedded in the output of the script run as part of the instructions. This script can be run as a normal user (or nobody), so we recommend this approach.

Otherwise, this page contains information about the RPM and deb repositories we offer. These repositories will almost always have more recent releases than the distributions.

RPM-based Distributions

We support several RPM-based platforms: Enterprise Linux 7, including Red Hat, CentOS, and Scientific Linux; Enterprise Linux 8, including Red Hat, CentOS Stream, Alma Linux, and Rocky Linux; Enterprise Linux 9, including Red Hat, CentOS Stream, Alma Linux, and Rocky Linux; openSUSE LEAP 15 including SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 15. Binaries are available for x86_64 for all these platforms. For Enterprise Linux 8, HTCondor also supports ARM (“aarch64”) and Power (“ppc64le”). For Enterprise Linux 9, HTCondor also supports ARM (“aarch64”).

Repository packages are available for each platform:

Except for Amazon Linux, the HTCondor packages on these platforms depend on the corresponding version of EPEL.

Additionally, the following repositories are required for specific platforms:

  • On RedHat 8, codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-${ARCH}-rpms.

  • On CentOS 8, powertools (or PowerTools).

  • On CentOS or RedHat 9, crb.
