Install Slurm 19.05 on a standalone machine running Ubuntu 20.04

Use apt to install the necessary packages:

sudo apt install -y slurm-wlm slurm-wlm-doc

Load file:///usr/share/doc/slurm-wlm/html/configurator.html in a browser (or file://wsl%24/Ubuntu/usr/share/doc/slurm-wlm/html/configurator.html on WSL2), and:

  1. Set your machine's hostname in SlurmctldHost and NodeName.
  2. Set CPUs as appropriate, and optionally Sockets, CoresPerSocket, and ThreadsPerCore. Use command lscpu to find what you have.
  3. Set RealMemory to the number of megabytes you want to allocate to Slurm jobs,
  4. Set StateSaveLocation to /var/spool/slurm-llnl.
  5. Set ProctrackType to linuxproc because processes are less likely to escape Slurm control on a single machine config.
