Custom Software

Users can install custom software packages and build custom software modules in order to build a custom user- or group-specific software stack. For users and groups with well-defined research workflows, it is recommended to create a custom software stack to keep close control of the software installation versions and configuration. A location should be specified that contains the custom software installations and the module files for the custom software installations should be stored together in a common location. This module location can be added to the $MODULEPATH environment variable so users can access the software modules just as they would for the central software stack.
