Environment Modules
The HPC does not rely on the OS distribution's package repositories for software, as they typically provide only a single version of each package. Instead, the HPC uses Environment Modules to manage software with support for multiple versions. To set up modules, export the following variable in your .bashrc file (and remember to source the file again):
MODULEPATH=/share/apps/Modules/noarch/:/share/apps/Modules/linux-debian12-zen3
To explore the available packages, run module avail to list all installed software. To search for a specific package, try:
$ 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: modulepath
To load a module (make sure to the desired version is provided):
$ module load llvm/18.1.8-gcc-12.2.0-mx7panm
