Software

Common software is available and can be loaded using so-called modules.
First, add the following paths to the MODULEPATH environment variable.

export MODULEPATH=$MODULEPATH:/afs/slac.stanford.edu/package/spack/share/spack/modules/linux-rhel6-x86_64:/usr/share/Modules/modulefiles:/etc/modulefiles

You can check which modules are available using the command

module avail


You can load for example versions of c - compiler using

module load gcc-5.4.0-gcc-4.4.7-2tpf4ki

If you add the above commands into your .bashrc file in your home directory the modules will automatically be loaded when you log in.
