The Crunch.io Dashboard allows users to launch scientific computing clusters in EC2 with ease.
I will be updating these instructions in the near future as well as publically announcing the opensource release of the core dashboard component.
Steps for running dash on Ubuntu 10.04:
mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages crunchio git clone git://github.com/godber/crunch.io-dashboard.git dash cd dash # Install the system dependencies sudo apt-get install -y python-dev libgmp3-dev libgmp3c2 build-essential # Install the python dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt # Run the following commands and follow the instructions fab setup fab bootstrap
The dashboard is dependant on a number of open source components and libraries, most notably StarCluster.
