 Install the XGE with the top-level Makefile:

 Now follow the instructions provided by the SGE to compile and install it. Have a look into `gridengine/source/README.BUILD` for further information.         Check if your SGE installation runs properly.  Set up a test queue and run a job.  Do not forget to install `execd` on all compute nodes.
-
-== Configure the SGE ==
-To make the XGE work together with the SGE create a new queue (lets call it ''virtual'' here):
-
-{{{
-qconf -aq virtual
-}}}
-Replace the epilog line with the following:
-
-{{{
-epilog  /home/jobs/sge_epilog_real.sh
-}}}
-This epilog script points is a wrapper epilog script executing the real epilog script, which is responsible for bringing the VMs down.  You do not         need to configure a prolog script, the default setting NONE is fine here. The actual prolog script is called from `qmaster` directly (via the provided         patch).
-
-== Create a directory on shared storage ==
-To function properly the XGE needs a directory on shared (e.g. NFS) storage.  The default location is `/home/jobs`, but you can choose another         location.  If you do so, do not forget to change the epilog path in your queue configuration.
-
-{{{
-mkdir -p /home/jobs
-}}}
-The path is configured in `/opt/xge/etc/xge.conf`:
-
-{{{
-gd  = /home/jobs
-}}}
-Currently the job directory has to be mode 777:
-
-{{{
-chmod 777 /home/jobs
-}}}
-== Configure the XGE ==
-Edit `/opt/xge/etc/xge.conf` and adjust all variables to your personal settings.
-
-== Install the scripts ==
-Change the ''$vqueue'' variable in all sge_* scripts to the name you choose in step 3.
-
-Copy the `scripts/sge_epilog_*.sh` scripts to your shared storage location (`/home/jobs` by default).  If you choose another location change         the path in the scripts.
-
-== Install the virtual machines ==
-You need to install VMs on all compute nodes.  The number of VMs on a single compute nodes depends on its power.  We recommend installing one VM per CPU core (eg 4 cores -> 4 VMs). The VMs on every compute node are called placeholders.  They need a SGE `execd` installed, NFS and LDAP access.  The same applies to your ''real'' VMs.  The placeholders will be replaced by the XGE on-the-fly with your own VMs.
