Overview

The policies regarding the installation of software are on this page.  In general, scientific software is installed as requested with the caveats noted in that section. There are over 100 software applications installed as modules so you should look there before submitting an installation request. As an alternative, you are always welcome to install your own software or other software in your file space.

Puma, Ocelote, and

...

ElGato are built with CentOS 7 along with the system libraries, compilers and utilities that are needed for HPC operations.

Module Commands

Tip

If multiple versions of software are available on the system, the newest is made the default. This means loading a module without specifying the version will select the most recent. We strongly recommend including version information in your module statements. This ensures that you maintain a consistent environment for your analyses in the event of a software upgrade.

To see, access, and get information on individual software packages available on the system, use the module commands detailed below. If you have trouble accessing the module command, see our FAQ section.
