[Swift-user] Re: installing swift

[Ben Clifford]

Yeah, that's quite out of date, it seems.

If you're installing on a machine with an OSG stack, get the version 
without extra stuff (swift-0.8-stripped.tar.gz) from the download page. 
Untar it, and put its bin/ directory on your system path.

The stripped version does not contain commands like grid-proxy-init, to 
avoid conflict with real versions deployed elsewhere (i.e. in an OSG 
install).

To test, go into the examples/swift/ directory, type:

swift first.swift

and check that a file hello.txt appears.
