Programs, Applications and Libraries Management and Setup
PALMS (Programs, Applications and Libraries Management and Setup)
is a system to install and manage software in a CVMFS repository such as OASIS. It simplifies
the packaging and installation of a software in different versions for different platforms and
it helps users to setup the correct and desired environment (applications and libraries).
With OASIS and PALMS, OSG can therefore offer not only a central location to install and store
software, but also tools and procedures for VO librarians (software managers) to install and
maintain the software. And once the software is distributed, PALMS will help VO users access
the software. By using PALMS the VOs will follow best practices and common guidelines set by
OSG and enforced by PALMS.
