Software Overview¶
Cluster Software¶
Cluster’s nuts and bolts.
Allow you to build specific environments.
Using make or cmake.
The cluster offers you many options for working with software. Two of the easiest and most convenient ways are using the module command on the command line and the interactive-ood-apps web portal.
If you need a specific software package, first check to see if it is already available through one of the preinstalled modules on the cluster. The Research Computing team adds new modules regularly, so use the module avail command to view the most up-to-date list.
Requesting Software Installation Assistance¶
If the software you need is not a module on the cluster, cannot be installed via Spack, and is not available through another way of self-installation (e.g., make), please submit a ServiceNow software request ticket.
Note
Some packages might not be able to be installed on the cluster due to hardware incompatibility issues.
Following these steps, users should be able to install most software packages on their own. However, always refer to the specific software’s documentation, as steps can vary. If you run into issues or need help, please contact support.
