Modules
The cluster uses modules to control which versions of software are used. Modules must be "loaded" in order to use the software that they represent. By default, several modules are loaded. You can view your loaded modules by running 'module list' on the login node.
danbarke@idran:~$ module list
Currently Loaded Modules:
1) PrivateModules 2) biostat/1.0 3) slurm/18.08.6 4) R/3.6.2-gcc8.3.0 5) jags/4.3.0
6) gsl/2.5 7) StdEnv
As you can see, by default, R 3.6.2 is loaded.
You can view all of the versions available for a particular title with 'module spider
<package>'.
danbarke@idran:~$ module spider R
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
R:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics.
Versions:
R/3.5.1-gcc8.3
R/3.5.1
R/3.6.1-gcc8.3.0
R/3.6.1
R/3.6.2-gcc8.3.0
R/4.0.1-gcc8.3.0
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To find other possible module matches do:
module -r spider '.*R.*'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To find detailed information about R please enter the full name.
For example:
$ module spider R/3.6.2-gcc8.3.0
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We can see that there are 6 versions of R available on the cluster, some compiled with the system gcc and others with the newer gcc 8.3.0.
If you want to switch to a different version of R, all you have to do is load the module with 'module load <package>/<version>'
[danbarke@idran ~]$ module load R/4.0.1-gcc8.3.0
The following have been reloaded with a version change:
1) R/3.6.2-gcc8.3.0 => R/4.0.1-gcc8.3.0
Now when I do a `module list` I see that R/4.0.1-gcc8.3.0 is loaded.
danbarke@idran:~$ module list
Currently Loaded Modules:
1) PrivateModules 2) biostat/1.0 3) slurm/18.08.6 4) R/4.0.1-gcc8.3.0 5) jags/4.3.0
6) gsl/2.5 7) StdEnv
Example Usage
$ module load R
$ which R
$ module unload R
$ module load openbugs
Module Subcommands
Command | Description | example |
---|---|---|
list | List current loaded modules | module list |
avail | List all modules available in the system | module avail |
show | Display details of a module | module show R |
load | Load a module into your environment | module load R |
unload | Remove a currently loaded module from your environment | module unload R |
whatis | Display the module description information | module whatis R |
Private Modules
To load a list of modules different then the default you have the ~/privatemodules/ directory at your disposal. To load specific modules at login that are not in the site defaults put the module commands into the file default file in ~/privatemodules/default. You can put any module command in this default file. So if you would like to run a different version of an existing package you can unload that module and then load it via the default file.
Available Modules
The following list of software is available on the cluster.
If there is software missing that you need please email sph-biostat-help@umich.edu to have it added to the repository. As always you are free to install software in your home directory.
