Hyuntae, You could still install TPP on your account on the supercomputing server -- just don't install Apache. All of the command line tools will be available and should still work, you just won't be able to use the Petunia web interface. In conjunction you could install TPP locally on your desktop. Then what you could do is copy your data to the cluster to leverage its usage to run all of your searches and copy the results back to view in petunia and finish your analysis. Most of the TPP programs should run easily on a desktop machine on a normal sized data set -- its the searches that tend to be the most time consuming operation. (If you got really creative, you could also remotely mount through, say samba, the files from the linux side to your desktop to be able to view things in petunia. This is a little complicated to setup and may suffer some performance issues).
Reading over your cluster resources, I see it supports SGE. You may want to take a look at a couple of bash shell scripts I put together to run searches on a cluster. There in our svn repository at: http://sashimi.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/sashimi/trunk/trans_proteomic_pipeline/extern/hpctools/grid/ and are meant to be copied and modified as needed. -Joe On Tue, Jul 5, 2011 at 5:17 PM, Hyuntae <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I am looking into the possibility of installing the whole package of > TPP in my account at a Linux-based supercomputing server ("Texas > Advanced Computing Center" see: http://www.tacc.utexas.edu/resources/hpc > for details), and one of the system administrators said that web- > servers like Apache are not allowed for installation (mainly due to > security issues).
