[slurm-users] Help With Slurm 18.08 Installation on Ubuntu Server 18.04

[Kenneth Russell]

I am a new Slurm user, trying to install Slurm 18.08 on a Ubuntu Server 
18.04 desktop.  To start, I just want to set up a single node system.  
I'm using the "Quick Start Admin Guide" on the Schedmd web site as a 
starting point.

For several days, I have been pouring through on-line sites to learn the 
specifics of what files need to be in what directories, etc.  Progress 
has been very slow.

1.  Does anyone know of a detailed procedure for installing Slurm 18.08 
on Ubuntu 18.04?

2.  I am stuck on finding example PID files (slurmctld.pid, slurmd.pid 
and slurmdbd.pid) to place in my /var/run folder.  Can someone provide 
me with these files or tell me where I can find them?


Thanks, in advance for your help.
