Modules

Access to software is controlled by modules which configure your environment to use specific applications. Grace uses this method for controlling access to applications, tools and libraries, allowing you to select software options and setup the relevant environment variables. There are a few simple commands which allow you to retrieve information about the software installed (modules) on HPC.

Full details of all software installed on HPC, can be found at the bottom of the page.

To view a list of all available modules, type:

module avail

To load a module, type:

 module add <module name>

To unload a module, type:

module del <module name>

To list the contents of a module file, type:

module show <module-name>

The module show command is useful in finding library paths for the purpose of linking against libraries. Library paths are comma delimited directories that are assigned to the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH
