| | 18 | The best starting point for a new site is the QWG templates described [https://trac.lal.in2p3.fr/LCGQWG here]. The QWG templates provide a complete solution for configuration and installation of a Quattor site. (You could think of it as analagous to a distribution in the Linux world in that it packages up the core software along with useful tools and documentation needed to get the system up and running.) |

| | 20 | If you have many (i.e. 50+) potential users, you may want to consider the Configuration Database (CDB). An installation guide is available [http://isscvs.cern.ch:8180/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/elfms/quattor/documentation/installation-guide/index.html?content-type=text/html&cvsroot=elfms&only_with_tag=HEAD here]. |
