HTCondorWiki: Using Condor Annex For The First Time

 
 We recommend that you install a personal condor to make use of =condor_annex=; it's simpler to configure that way.  Get started by following the instructions for CreatingPersonalHtcondor; be sure to download one of the tarballs for version 8.7.0 or later.

+{subsection: Tell HTCondor about the open port}
+
+By default, HTCondor will use port 9618.  If the Linux machine doesn't already have HTCondor installed, and the admin is willing to open that port, then you don't have to do anything.  Otherwise, you'll need to add a line like the following to =LOCAL_DIR/condor_config.local=, where you must replace '9618' with whatever port the administrator opened for you.
