Software
From FarmShare
There is a lot of software available on the FarmShare systems. The systems run Ubuntu, so a lot of Ubuntu packages are installed.
There is also some licensed software installed: https://itservices.stanford.edu/service/sharedcomputing/software
Don't use /usr/pubsw
Maybe use /usr/sweet/bin, though we'll be installing new versions of software outside of AFS, use module avail instead.

modules
We use 'modules', a commonly used software package in HPC environments: http://modules.sourceforge.net/
The 'module' command has been added to your environment, but if you have modified your environment away from the defaults, you may need to source the module env vars for your shell.
For example, you may need to try something like this at the end of your .bashrc:
HOSTNAME=$(hostname) if [ "${HOSTNAME:0:4}" = "corn" ]; then #source farmshare modules echo "on a corn! try module avail" eval `tclsh /mnt/glusterfs/software/free/modules/tcl/modulecmd.tcl sh autoinit` fi
Then you can do something like:
module avail module load stata stata
