Environment Modules
The HPC does not rely on OS distro’s packages repositories for the software as the package is limited to one single version only. The HPC employs Environment Modules for managing packaging with multiple version support. To setup to use module, export the following variable in the .bashrc file:
MODULEPATH=/share/apps/Modules/noarch/:/share/apps/Modules/linux-debian12-zen3
Then you can explore what packages are available try module avail, it will list all the installed software. To find out 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
To load a module:
$ module load llvm/18.1.8-gcc-12.2.0-mx7panm
