Installing Software#

Build on compute nodes, not login nodes.

Note: The CPU stack is loaded by default on DAV nodes. If software is intended for DAV use, install it on the CPU Compute nodes.

Testing Modulefiles#

  1. Load the module directly from the modulefile.
module use $(pwd)/modules
module load softwareA/version

Alternatively, from any directory:

module use {kestreltype}/software/softwareA/modules
module load softwareA/version
  1. Verify the module is loaded.
module list
  1. Verify environment changes.
module show softwareA/version

Confirm expected variables (for example, PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and application-specific variables).

  1. Test the software.
softwareA --version
  1. Clean up.
module unload softwareA/version
module unuse $(pwd)/modules
