title: Emulating SLURM on Ubuntu 16.04
body: <p>I want to emulate SLURM on Ubuntu 16.04. I don't need serious resource management, I just want to test some simple examples. I <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46966876/installing-emulating-slurm-on-an-ubuntu-16-04-desktop-slurmd-fails-to-start">cannot install SLURM in the usual way</a>, and I am wondering if there are other options. Other things I have tried:</p>
  
  <ul>
