==Getting Started==
 
* Get logged on and set-up in a working area with access to the Grid.
 
* Make sure you've got your Grid certificate installed on your system (i.e. in .globus)
 
* Initialise you proxy:
 
<nowiki>
 
voms-proxy-init --voms cernatschool.org
 
</nowiki>
 
* Find the WMS sites that are supported by the CERN@school VO:
 
<nowiki>
 
lcg-infosites wms
 
</nowiki>
 
* Then ensure that the environment variable <code>GLITE_WMS_WMPROXY_ENDPOINT</code> points to one of these WMSs:
 
<nowiki>
 
export GLITE_WMS_WMPROXY_ENDPOINT=https://wms02.grid.hep.ph.ic.ac.uk:7443/glite_wms_wmproxy_server
 
</nowiki>

===Local File Catalog (LFC)===
 
This can be found by using the command:
 
<nowiki>
 
lcg-infosites lfc --vo cernatschool.org
 
</nowiki>
 
which returns <code>lfc.gridpp.rl.ac.uk</code>. See the "Data Management" section of the [[Grid user crash course|crash course]] for more information.

Introduction

This is the wiki homepage for GridPP activity on CERN@school.

The cernatschool.org Virtual Organisation (VO)

The CERN@school VO represents the CERN@school project on the Grid. CERN@school aims to bring CERN technology into the classroom to aid with the teaching of physics and to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. The CERN@school VO will allow students and teachers involved with the project to harness GridPP to store and analyse data from the CERN@school detectors, the LUCID experiment and the associated GEANT4 simulations.
