Modules

Any application software that you want to use will need to be loaded with the module load command.

For example:

module load apptainer/1.3.1

You will need to load the module any time that you create a new shell. This includes every time that you log out and back in as well as every time that you run a batch job on a compute node.

Some basic commands to use lmod:

module avail lists every module avaiable to load.

module key <keyword> searches for modules in a specified category (i.e. module key bio).
