• Get the tarball from the website.

PGI runs on port 27000. Make sure this port is open on the machine you are installing on.

In /nfs/software/pgi: 
mkdir version_number
cd version_number
mkdir tmp

vim env.csh 
setenv PGI /nfs/software/pgi/v12_10
setenv MANPATH "$MANPATH":$PGI/linux86/12.10/man
setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE $PGI/license.dat
set path = ($PGI/linux86/12.10/bin $path)

vim env.sh
PGI=/nfs/software/pgi/v12_10; export PGI
MANPATH=$MANPATH:$PGI/linux86/12.10/man
export MANPATH
LM_LICENSE_FILE=$PGI/license.dat
export LM_LICENSE_FILE
PATH=$PGI/linux86/12.10/bin:$PATH
export PATH

vim MPICH_env
#To access the MPICH commands, execute this command line:
set path = ($PGI/linux86/12.10/mpi/mpich/bin $path)
#To access the MPICH man pages, execute this command line:
setenv MANPATH "$MANPATH":$PGI/linux86/12.10/mpi/mpich/man
PATH=$PGI/linux86/12.10/mpi/mpich/bin:$PATH
export PATH
MANPATH= $MANPATH:$PGI/linux86/12.10/mpi/mpich/man
export MANPATH

Move the tarball to the tmp directory you created.

1 Generate a license key for this computer 2 Configure and start a license server on this computer 3 All of the above 4 I'm not sure (quit now and re-run this script later,)

What do you want to do? 3

The PGI license tool can be re-started by running the script located at /nfs/software/pgi/v12_10/linux86-64/12.10/bin/pgi_license_tool.

Do you want the files in the install directory to be read-only? (y/n) n

Installation complete.

Then I went to pgroup.com and generated the license key online. Then I copied and pasted the key in the file (that I created): /nfs/software/pgi/v12_10/license.dat

Then I ran the script /nfs/software/pgi/v12_10/linux86-64/12.10/bin/pgi_license_tool.

Should license services start when the system boots? (y/n) y

./pgi_license_tool: line 778: /nfs/software/pgi/v12_10/license.script: Permission denied

Since you are not the root user, the commands to configure and start a license daemon on this computer have been saved to the file located at /nfs/software/pgi/v12_10/license.script

Then as root I ran all the things in license.script

I ran into problems with the license server because flexlm identifies ifcfg-eth0 ‘s mac address as the hostid. This is problem if you don’t have an eth0. What I had to do was create ifcfg-eth0, move the existing ifcfg-em2 (and ifcfg-brem2) to like backup.ifcfg-em2. Then I had to restart the machine.

Then as root I re-ran all the things again in license.script and checked the flexlm.log to see that it had started okay.
