Managing the distribution and installation of
large and complex software suites such as that of the ATLAS
Particle Physics experiment [1] gives rise to a variety of problems. To be
able to deploy software on the Grid it
must have a completely automated installation procedure that addresses issues
such compatibility, updates and external
software required. Installations are needed to satisfy the different requirements
of the production run, a developer (with his/her own code) and the possibility
to rebuild from source.
