Installation of a new release of CRAB client at IIHE

0. Connect to an UI at IIHE and become root. This only works on m1.

1. Get the tarball containing the new release :

scp sgerard@lxplus.cern.ch:/afs/cern.ch/cms/ccs/wm/scripts/Crab/CRAB_2_7_4_pre2.tgz /user/cmssoft/crab/
scp jmmaes@lxplus.cern.ch:/afs/cern.ch/cms/ccs/wm/scripts/Crab/CRAB_2_7_7_patch1.tgz /user/cmssoft/crab/

2. Untar the downloaded file :

cd /user/cmssoft/crab/
tar xvzf CRAB_2_7_4_pre2.tgz

3. Get into the new directory and execute the configure script :

cd CRAB_2_7_4_pre2
./configure

This will create the crab.(c)sh files.
4. After validation, set this as the latest crab version

su - srugovac
cd /user/cmssoft/crab
rm -f latest
ln -s CRAB_2_7_8_patch2 latest
