Module Guide for CAE Linux Environments
CAE Linux Machines are now using the module tool to manage software. In particular, we are using Lmod, commonly used in supercomputing (HPC).
module will not run software for you; it prepares the environment. module enables selection of specific versions. More than one module can be loaded at once, allowing different software to work together.
Module grants CAE the flexibility to create a custom named module per class. If you are teaching a class and would like a custom module, please contact the CAE Helpdesk.
