Introduction to HPC Module system

Most HPC clusters have many software packages available for various needs. Most installed packages are available as environment modules. You can find out about an installed software/module using the following command:-
 
module avail 
This command will list all the installed software and modules in your cluster.

Use:
module load <module/version>        to load a module
module unload <module/version>    when done.

Generally, use as few modules as possible at a time. Once you're done using a particular piece of software, unload it before you load another one to avoid incompatibilities.

If you cannot find a piece of software on the cluster, you can request an installation for cluster-wide use. Read through the Software Installation Policy page, and send your software request through the Software Installation Request form:
