Software management

  • The login machines are installed with a wide set of software that can be uploaded on demand.

  • Different software stacks can be managed by the user through the Module application. This software initiates the appropriate environment (PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc.), and is a convenient tool for software transitions.

  • The main commands are:

    • Query available software modules: module avail

    • Load a given software module: module load <modulename>

    • Unload a given software module: module load <modulename>

    • List software in use : module list

    • Help on command module : module help 

# List the available software module stacks
$ module avail

  • Specific software for individual group should be installed at the /exper-sw/ areas.
  • WLCG groups (CMS and ATLAS) have the experiments software available at the CVMFS areas.
