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. Binaries are available for x86-64 for all these platforms. For Enterprise Linux 8, HTCondor also supports ARM (“aarch64”) and Power (“ppc64le”).

Repository packages are available for each platform:

The HTCondor packages on these platforms depend on the corresponding version of EPEL.

Additionally, the following repositories are required for specific platforms:

  • On RedHat 7, rhel-*-optional-rpms, rhel-*-extras-rpms, and rhel-ha-for-rhel-*-server-rpms.

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

  • On CentOS 8, powertools (or PowerTools).

deb-based Distributions

We support three deb-based platforms: Debian 11 (Bullseye); and Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa) and 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish). Binaries are only available for x86-64. These repositories also include the source packages.
