LCG-1 is the second release of the software framework for the LHC Computing Grid project. In our work we describe the installation process, arising problems and their solutions, and configuration tuning details of the complete LCG-1 site, including all LCG elements required for the self-sufficient site. We also include some benchmark results for the resulting system, and our experience on running HEP-specific applications on the LCG-1.
