Pmodules

The easiest and recommended solution is to use the Pmodules environment available at PSI. How to install and use the Pmodules is explained in the next two sections. The Pmodules are running on

Redhat Enterprise Linux 6, 7 and 8 and Clones like Scientific Linux and CentOS
Ubuntu 18 LTS, 20 LTS, 21 …
OpenSUSE leap 15.x

Check whether Pmodules are available

To check whether Pmodules are available on your system, run module --version. The output should look like:

$ module --version

Pmodules 1.0.0rc6 using Tcl Environment Modules 3.2.10
Copyright GNU GPL v2

If not already done, install Pmodules

If Pmodules are not installed on your system, you can either use modules available on AFS or you can install the required modules on your local disk.

Use the modules available on AFS

You (or your system administrator if you don’t have root access) have to set a symbolic link in the directory /opt to the Pmodules installation on AFS:
```
sudo ln -s /afs/psi.ch/sys/psi.x86_64_slp6 /opt/psi
```
Add the following line to your .bashrc or .bash_profile:
```
source /opt/psi/config/profile.bash
```
