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.

Don't use /usr/pubsw, we're trying to retire all of that tree.

Maybe use /usr/sweet/bin, though we'll be installing new versions of software outside of AFS.

modules

We use 'modules', a commonly used software package in HPC environments: http://modules.sourceforge.net/

First, you will need to source the module env vars for your shell from /mnt/glusterfs/software/free/modules/tcl/init/

For example, 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"
  source /mnt/glusterfs/software/free/modules/tcl/init/bash
fi

Replace "bash" with your shell if you're using a different shell, e.g. "source /mnt/glusterfs/software/free/modules/tcl/init/zsh" for zsh.

Then you can do something like:

module avail
module load stata
stata
