The goal of this section is to get you to install and run Qube as ! as quickly as possible. You will install a Supervisor, a Worker and a Client, and then submit a job from the Client to the Supervisor, which will hand it off to the Worker. All three of these roles can be played by the same machine, so if you want to investigate Qube! on a single laptop, you can do that. Or if your goals are larger, you can do that from here as well. Whatever your final goal, to install and start using Qube!, follow these steps.

Alternatively, you can continue with Qube! administration tasks. The Administrator's Guide explains how to keep building up your Qube! installation, including:

Adding Additional Workers
Adding Additional Clients
Tuning Qube! for Optimal Performance

You can launch the Qube! Wrangler GUI from here if you like, but let's keep going and finish the install. So click through to the end and exit the install wizard. But continue following the instructions on this page.

By default, jobs run as user 'qubeproxy'. If the 'Read Test Job' fails, it is likely to be because you chose a file or directory path that is not accessible to the qubeproxy user. You can verify this is the problem by looking at the output of the job in the Wrangler View UI <need a link to a page that deals with this> |
