The BioGrids GUI Installation Manager client allows users to select the applications through a graphical client. This client also allows users to search for titles or browse all available titles.
Installing the GUI Installation Manager also installs the CLI Installation Manager as a BioGrids application located under the /programs tree.
The BioGrids CLI Installation Manager tool allows users to choose the titles they wish to install using a command-line driven package manager. Applications can be installed and updated as convenient. This client can be made automatic or used in manual mode.
