The AG2.4 packages available here are for sites where AG2 is still required (AG3 is really much preferred). They are made on and for the current Debian stable distribution, etch. They are packaged to enable installation with AG3 also installed, but since these packages are a first cut, we'd appreciate receiving feedback about any problems so they may be fixed.

First remove any earlier AG2 installations e.g. accessgrid2.3 and its dependencies:

Automatic method (using Synaptic or apt-get):
Please add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:
    deb http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debian etch/

    If using the Synaptic Package Manager, reload the package information (use the Reload button, or select Reload Package Information from the Edit menu). Now search for and install the accessgrid2.4 package. A number of prerequisite packages should also be automatically installed (for a full list, see below in the Manual installation section).

An alternative to Synaptic is apt-get from the command line. In this case, after editing the source.list file, run:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install accessgrid2.4


Manual method:
    Download and install the following packages (and whatever dependencies they entail):

from any regular Debian etch repository -

from UQVislab repository -

wxmozilla
globusdatamanagementclient
accessgrid2.4

Should be set to go now - look in the new "Access Grid" entry in the main menu (assuming Gnome desktop). If the "Access Grid" menu hasn't appeared, either run killall gnome-panel or log out then log in again.

The AG2.4 packages for Debian sarge are available from the download directory
