Software

Under this area you will find information about the installed software and applications on HPC2N's systems, as well as some information about accessing it.

Note that is is NOT a complete list. Login to Kebnekaise and run the command

ml spider

to get a full list.

If there is a program you need and it is not installed, you can either install it yourself (check if it can easily be installed with Easybuild) or ask (mail support at support@hpc2n.umu.se) if it can be installed on Kebnekaise. If the program needs a license you will have to provide that yourself. If the license requires a license server, that will have to be provided either by yourself or through your deparment or similar.

Much of the software is accessed through the module system. You can read more about using modules on our 'Using modules' page. When you are looking for a piece of software, try running either

  • module avail
  • ml spider

to see if it is installed.

For information about versions, login to the cluster (Kebnekaise) and run

ml spider <software>

Newer versions of the provided software will be installed regularly. However, if you need a new version quickly, please send an email to support@hpc2n.umu.se.
