Environment Modules
The HPC does not rely on OS distro’s packages the OS distribution's package repositories for the software as the package is limited to one single version only. The , as they typically provide only a single version of each package. Instead, the HPC employs Environment Modules for managing to manage packaging with support for multiple version supportversions. To setup to use moduleset up the use of modules, export the following variable in the your .bashrc file (remember to source the file again):
| Code Block |
|---|
MODULEPATH=/share/apps/Modules/noarch/:/share/apps/Modules/linux-debian12-zen3 |
Then you can To explore what packages are available try module avail, it will list all the installed software. To find out a specific package, try:
| Code Block |
|---|
$ module avail llvm
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /share/apps/Modules/linux-debian12-zen3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
llvm/16.0.6-gcc-12.2.0-re62fk5 llvm/18.1.8-gcc-12.2.0-mx7panm
Key:
modulepath
$ module avail cuda
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /share/apps/Modules/linux-debian12-zen3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cuda/12.5.1-gcc-12.2.0-tk2uq2c
Key:

To load a module (make sure to the desired version is provided):
| Code Block |
|---|
$ module load llvm/18.1.8-gcc-12.2.0-mx7panm
