On eRI we make software available using environment modules, sometime also referred to as lmod. This article describes how to use the module command to find, load and purge software.
Environment Modules
Modules are a convenient way to provide access to applications on the cluster. They prepare the environment you need to run an application.
For a full list of module commands run man module or visit the lmod documentation here.
| Lists all available modules. |
| Searches available modules for [module name] |
| Shows information about [module name] |
| Loads [module name] |
| Lists currently loaded modules. |
| Purge (remove) all modules from your environment |
For example, if you want to use the R programming language you would:
...
This will load all of the software and dependencies required to run Rversion 4.3.2. To see the list of software loaded when you run the above command you can run the module list command:
| Code Block |

$ module list
