Most of the preinstalled software is provided via software environment modules.
Most easily, you can search for available software on Noctua by
using the command
find_module
on the Noctua, e.g.find_module Cp2k
. (The argument is not case-sensitive.)using the search functionality of these documentation pages
manually checking the list of All Software Modules
You can’t find the software that you need?
In this case, you have several options:
We can install it for you. Please don’t hesitate to contact pc2-support@uni-paderborn.de.
If it is a Python or Julia package you likely can install it via the respective package managers.
You could use a software container solution like Singularity to have full control over you software environment.
As a last resort, you can also manually install the software in your project directory, for example by setting a prefix (e.g.
./configure --prefix=$PC2PFS/hpc-prf-lsdft/prefix
) which will install the software withmake install
to this directory instead of/usr/bin
or/usr/local/bin
(where you don’t have write permissions).
Note that we are happy to support you with any questions or issue that come up.
