Software

How software is provided

  • Software modules: most compilers, libraries and scientific packages are installed centrally and loaded with Lmod. See Software modules (Lmod).
  • Conda: for Python stacks that are not available as modules, create your own conda environment. See Conda on Phoebe and Koios.
  • uv: a fast Python package and project manager, used on top of a Python module. See Python with uv.
  • Without root: you can still extract binaries from an RPM package into your home directory. See Unpack an RPM without root.

On Phoebe, modules come in stacks, one per toolchain generation: 2023a to 2026a under /cvmfs, and a system stack with CUDA, Miniforge3 and commercial software. Koios has one smaller tree, c9, with no system stack. See where modules come from.
