Software – Overview

June 2023: See also Rocky 8 Transition Guide

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

• Modules
• Spack
• 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
