Environment modules

The module command is used to list and use, in a simple way, the software, libraries or utilities installed on the cluster.

To show all existing modules, use the command :

module avail
info

If you think a module is missing, please let us know.

To load a module, the command is :

module load vasp/5.4.1/vasp

This command loads the environment needed to run the VASP code, including compilers.

To show the modules currently loaded :

module list

To unload a module :

module unload vasp/5.4.1/vasp

This command will unload all the modules loaded by the vasp/5.4.1/vasp module, compilers included.

To unload all loaded modules in your terminal or a script:

module purge

Finally, some modules may have plugins (additional libraries). To get information on additional libraries installed in a module, use the module help command:

module help conda/23.11-py311

Additional modules

Some scientific communities require a very large set of tools. To avoid overloading the list of available modules, we have separated them from common ones.

You must therefore carry out a specific operation before you can use them.

Biology, health and bioinformatics modules​

To activate the biology, health and bioinformatics modules, add the following lines to the end of your ~/.bashrc file:

# Include biology modules
export MODULEPATH="/share/biology/modules/applications:/share/biology/modules/libraries:/share/biology/modules/tools:$MODULEPATH"
