In this page we present installation instructions for the gredia middleware platform. Specifically, we present instructions for the following components: RDLS, SFC, Gridtorrent.

RDLS

RDLS (Rich Data Location Services) is the layer that exposes the middleware's functionality through standard Web Services functionality. In the following, we give installation instructions of how to setup a gredia middleware server and how to install the client software and access the functionality of the installed services.

Server setup

RDLS is based on the web services layer of Globus Toolkit v.4. Globus can be installed as a whole, or only the web services layer. To install the whole toolkit, download the file  Globus Toolkit v.4.01 and follow the installation instructions from here. If you wish to install only the web services layer, download it from here and follow the installation instructions from here. When the installation is completed, install the gredia middleware services package  (download it from the bottom of the page) using the following command:

globus-deploy-gar gredia_MetaData.gar
