This page is about the DIRAC "interware", i.e. middleware (or, if you will, software which lets you do stuff), or specifically GridPP's deployment of it. For other things called "dirac" which may have led you to this page, please see the links at the bottom of this page.

For Users: The GridPP dirac server

• Very New users: find instructions for getting setup from scratch in the GridPP UserGuide. (This document is now somewhat out of date, but there is noone paid to update it, sorry.)
• GridPP DIRAC users, please start here: Setting up a dirac client;
• GridPP DIRAC Portal;
• Dirac SAM Tests and DIRAC SAM details;
