Re: [AG-TECH] Building AG for Mac Via the Command-Line

[Eric Olson <eolson@mcs.anl.gov>]

Hi Derek,
  Having X11 would be helpful, but I don't think it would be required 
at this time -- at least for certificates.  Using the command-line 
certificate management tool certmgr.py, you could import a certificate 
that you requested on another computer and exported to a file.

On OSX, you do have to source a file to setup your environment before 
running certmgr.py (and if you're running an osx venueserver, you might 
already know this):
bash example:
. /Applications/AccessGridToolkit.pp/Contents/Resources/setupenv.sh
certmgr.py
