[slurm-users] Slurm Install on Remote System

[John Hearns]

Priya, thankyou. That does sound to be an interesting project.
I cannot say if it is possible to install Slurm if you do not have root
access - I have always had root access to systems.
Sorry....

My next piece of advice depends on how far from you the remote system is...
Go visit the systems admins for the system.. bring food. Bribery works!
