Software – Overview

June 2023: See also Rocky 8 Transition Guide

We recommend Modules, Spack, Podman, and Singularity as software building tools. We have detailed docs on all these approaches.

• Modules
• Spack
• Containers
  • Podman
  • Singularity
• Python
• Installing Software Yourself
• Installed Modules (Note: the modules search in Portal is deprecated and will be removed soon)

R is particularly difficult to search on due to its name being a single letter. Here are links to our primary R docs:

• R Basics
• R Packages
• RStudio on VDI

For Python, see Python

FASRC Software Training

• There have been a number of changes since the June 2023 OS upgrade.  This video provides an overview:
  
• Installing and using software on FASRC cluster
  • Slides from March 2023Modules_and_Software_3-14-2023
  • Recording

Other/non-cluster software:

• For desktop version of Mathematica or MATLAB, see the FAS downloads page (HUID/PIN required)
• For other university software offerings, please see HUIT’s Software for the FAS Community page
• For GaussView, or MOE download info, see our software download page (FASRC login and FASRC VPN connection required)
• JMP – FASRC no longer has access to a JMP license and HUIT does not currently provide one. Please see: https://www.jmp.com/en_us/academic/licensing-for-faculty.html for purchasing/trial options.Please note that FASRC does not directly purchase software for labs/schools. If you are looking to purchase software for your lab’s use, then your lab, department, or school should make that purchase either directly with the vendor or by contacting HUIT software licensing. Please note that any software intended to be run on the cluster should have a Linux-compatible licensing mechanism and Linux (x64) software.
