Ianc: /* Mac Setup */

'''If you are migrating from Backup and Sync, please follow the migration steps [[Google Drive/Migrating from Backup and Sync to Drive for Desktop| here]].'''

==Overview==
Drive for desktop is an application for Windows and macOS that lets you quickly access Google Drive content directly from your operating system's file browser. Drive for desktop also automatically syncs local files and directories of your choosing to your Google Drive in the background. This allows you to continuously back up your data as you create or modify it on your local machine(s) without needing to manually upload each file to your Google Drive.

For Linux, you can set up [https://rclone.org/ Rclone] with a cronjob to copy files to your Google Drive periodically. Instructions to do this can be found [[Rclone#Google_Drive | here]].

==Installation==
Drive for desktop can be downloaded [https://www.google.com/drive/download here].

Ianc: /* Connecting to a printer */

==Overview==
Printing from your self-supported Ubuntu laptop or desktop is supported. If you are sitting at a UMIACS-supported Ubuntu desktop, please see our common UNIX/Linux printing documentation for [[CUPS]] instead.

This documentation may not work for all versions of Ubuntu. If you run into any issues, please [[HelpDesk | contact staff]].

===Printer Accessibility===
In order to print you '''need to be on the UMIACS internal network''', either via a wired proxy drop or an [[SecureShellTunneling | SSH tunnel]].

==Connecting to a printer==
In order for printing to function properly, you must complete '''ALL''' of the following steps:
# Open a web browser and go to <code>localhost:631</code>. This will bring up the CUPS home page.
#: [[File:Cups_home_page_12-2024.png|700px|alt="Screenshot of CUPS home page"]]
# At the top of the screen, select '''Administration'''. If you're given a login prompt, enter your username and password for the computer. Select the 'Add Printer' button.
#: [[File:Cups_admin_page_12-2024.png|700px|alt="Screenshot of CUPS Administration Page"]]
# Open a new tab in your web browser and navigate to https://print.umiacs.umd.edu/printers.
# Find the '''name''' of the printer that you wish to connect to. If you are unsure of which one to pick, see the [[PrinterQueueNaming | selecting a print queue]] page.
# Navigate back to the 'Add Printer' page. Select the 'Internet Printing Protocol (ipp)' radio button, then hit the 'Continue' button.
#: [[File:Cups_ipp_radio_button_12-2024.png|450px|alt="Screenshot of CUPS administration page with indicated selection"]]
# Next to the 'Connection:' field, enter <code>ipp://print.umiacs.umd.edu:631/printers/</code> with the name of the printer added at the end. For instance, to add cps432-3208 (color printer in IRB 3208), you would enter <code>ipp://print.umiacs.umd.edu:631/printers/cps432-3208</code> in the field. Hit 'Continue'.
#: [[File:Cups_connection_entry_12-2024.png|500px|alt="Screenshot of CUPS administration page with indicated fields"]]
# Enter the printer '''name''' in the 'Name:' field. It's recommended to enter useful information in the 'Description:' and 'Location:' fields, but it's not required. Keep 'Share This Printer' unchecked. Hit 'Continue'.
#: [[File:Cups_name_entry_12-2024.png|500px|alt="Screenshot of CUPS administration page with indicated fields"]]
# In the 'Make:' list, select the brand of the printer as noted in step 4, and click 'Continue'.
#: [[File:Cups_make_selection_12-2024.png|400px|alt="Screenshot of make options"]]
# In the 'Model:' list, select the specific model of the printer as noted in step 4. Then click 'Add Printer'.
#: [[File:Cups_model_selection_12-2024.png|500px|alt="Screenshot of model options"]]
# The printer likely requires additional configuration. When adding the printer through the CUPS interface, it is added system-wide. It can be viewed and modified in the 'Printers' menu of the Ubuntu settings, where in Ubuntu 24.04, there is a kebab menu for each printer added. In the kebab menu, select 'Printing Options'. We recommend changing the printer options here instead of in the CUPS browser interface, though you can make changes there if you prefer.
#: [[File:Ubuntu_printer_options-12-2024.png|600px|alt="Screenshot of Ubuntu printer options"]]
# In 'Page Setup', at minimum, change the media size to 'US Letter', unless you're specifically printing from a tray which doesn't use letter paper. Change the 'Pages per side', 'Two-sided', and 'Orientation' settings according to your preferences.
#: [[File:Ubuntu_page_setup_12-2024.png|600px|alt="Screenshot of printer settings"]]
# The available settings depend on the printer you added. For cps432-3208, there is an 'Installable Options' menu. Use this to configure the trays according to the printer's tray configuration.
#: [[File:Ubuntu_tray_setup_12-2024.png|600px|alt="Screenshot of installable options menu"]]
# Verify this process by printing a test page, which is the top left button in the 'Printing Options' submenu in Ubuntu 24.04. You should get the default Ubuntu test page. If you just get a page with a string of text then the printer is not properly configured, and you should verify the settings.

Ianc: /* Installing Modules */

Python can be user installed.
Below are installation instructions for both .exe and MSI installers. MSI installers have been discontinued for Python version 3.5 and above.
== Installing Python via .exe ==
# Download Python application of the version you want from [https://www.python.org/download/ here]. Note that there are options for the 32-bit or 64-bit version, but you might need to do some searching.
# Click run, to run the installer.
#* [[File:click_run.png|850px|alt="Screenshot of indicated alert"]]
# Select Install Now. Make sure that you uncheck the "Install launcher for all users" box. Leaving this checked will cause the installation to fail.
#* [[File: select_location.png|600px|alt="Screenshot of Python setup"]]
# Finish the installation [https://www.python.org/download/ here].

This installer will automatically allow you to access Python from the command line by just typing <code>py</code> instead of the full path.

== Installing Python via MSI ==
# Download Python windows MSI installer from [https://www.python.org/download/ here]. Note that there are options for the 32-bit or 64-bit version, but you might need to do some searching.
# Click run, to run the installer.
#* [[File:click_run_msi.PNG|750px|alt="Screenshot of indicated alert"]]
# Select a home directory as the install folder (i.e.<code>C:\Users\[YOURUSERNAME]\Documents\Pythonx.x.x</code>) where x represents the version number.
#* [[File: select_location_msi.PNG|500px|alt="Screenshot of Python Installer directory selection"]]
# Finish the installation.

If you want to be able to access Python from the command line by just typing <code>python</code> instead of the full path (i.e. <code>\temp\pythonfolder\python</code>) you have to add the python folder to your path.
# Navigate to <code>Control Panel</code> -> <code>System and Security</code> -> <code>System</code>
# Select <code>Advanced system settings</code> from the sidebar
# In the <code>Advanced</code> tab click the <code>Environment Variables...</code> button

Ianc: /* Installing Python via MSI */

Python can be user installed.
Below are installation instructions for both .exe and MSI installers. MSI installers have been discontinued for Python version 3.5 and above.
== Installing Python via .exe ==
# Download Python application of the version you want from [https://www.python.org/download/ here]. Note that there are options for the 32-bit or 64-bit version, but you might need to do some searching.
# Click run, to run the installer.
#* [[File:click_run.png|850px|alt="Screenshot of indicated alert"]]
# Select Install Now. Make sure that you uncheck the "Install launcher for all users" box. Leaving this checked will cause the installation to fail.
#* [[File: select_location.png|600px|alt="Screenshot of Python setup"]]
# Finish the installation [https://www.python.org/download/ here].

This installer will automatically allow you to access Python from the command line by just typing <code>py</code> instead of the full path.

== Installing Python via MSI ==
# Download Python windows MSI installer from [https://www.python.org/download/ here]. Note that there are options for the 32-bit or 64-bit version, but you might need to do some searching.
# Click run, to run the installer.

#* [[File: select_location_msi.PNG|500px|alt="Screenshot of Python Installer directory selection"]]
# Finish the installation.

If you want to be able to access Python from the command line by just typing <code>python</code> instead of the full path (i.e. <code>\temp\pythonfolder\python</code>) you have to add the python folder to your path.
# Navigate to <code>Control Panel</code> -> <code>System and Security</code> -> <code>System</code>
# Select <code>Advanced system settings</code> from the sidebar
# In the <code>Advanced</code> tab click the <code>Environment Variables...</code> button
# Check if a Variable called <code>Path</code> exists in the list of user variables

# Navigate to https://calendar.google.com. [[File:GoogleCalendar_Initial.png|border|775px|alt="Screenshot of Google Calendar"]] 
# Ensure that you are logged into your UMD account. Only these accounts can view rooms. Switch or add an account if not: Google has instructions [https://support.google.com/docs/answer/2405894?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en here]. When adding an account you will be prompted by Google for your email/phone. This is your UMD username that you use to log into the UMD Central Authentication System (CAS) appended with <code>@umd.edu</code>. For example <code>username@umd.edu</code>. You will then be redirected to the UMD CAS login page if you don't have a current session open.

# Click on the cog in the top right and click Settings to open the settings menu. [[File:GoogleCalendar_ViewSettings.png|border|775px|alt="Refer to adjacent text"]] 
# Expand Add Calendar on the left pane and select Browse resources. [[File:GoogleCalendar_BrowseResources.png|border|775px|alt="Screenshot of Google Calendar showing indicated page"]] 
# Scroll down to IRB (the building code for Iribe) and tick the checkbox for each room that you want to add to your Google Calendar view. [[File:GoogleCalendar_ChooseRooms.png|border|775px|alt="Screenshot of Google Calendar showing indicated page"]] 
# Click the back arrow in the top left (not the browser back arrow) to return to the main Google Calendar view. All of the calendars you subscribed to (and their events) should now be visible. You can also untick individual calendars on the left pane to temporarily hide one or more of the calendars you subscribed to. Switching to Day view in the top right will also show you one column per room if you prefer.

Google Drive/Migrating from Backup and Sync to Drive for Desktop

2026-04-07T13:57:53Z

Ianc: /* Windows Setup */

Google has unified their previous two existing Drive sync clients (Backup and Sync and Drive File Stream) into a single sync client called Drive for desktop. If you were previously using Backup and Sync, please follow the steps below to migrate from Backup and Sync to Drive for desktop.

==Windows Setup==
# Click on the Backup and Sync cloud icon in the lower righthand corner of your desktop. If the icon is not immediately visible, select the up arrow to show more icons.
#: [[File:Screenshot 2021-10-11 124233.jpg|400px|alt="Screenshot of Windows Taskbar showing indicated icon"]]
# Select the "GET STARTED" button.
#: [[File:Screenshot 2021-10-11 124302.jpg|400px|alt="Screenshot of Google Drive app showing indicated button"]]
# Select the "Sign in" button. This will bring up your associated Google Accounts. Make sure to select the account with <DIRECTORYID>@umd.edu.
#: [[File:Screenshot 2021-10-11 124350.jpg|800px|alt="Screenshot of Google Drive app showing indicated button"]]
# After you have signed in, Drive for Desktop will check your folders to make sure all of your files are up to date and ask you to review your settings and inform you of the location of your Google Drive in your local filesystem.
# Drive for Desktop will then ask you if you would like to store your photos and videos from your computer on your Google Drive or your Google Photos. NOTE: If you select the Google Photos option, you will need to sign into Google Photos using your <DIRECTORYID>@umd.edu Google account to access them. They will not sync into your personal Google account.
#:[[File:Screenshot 2021-10-11 124737.jpg|800px|alt="Screenshot of Google Drive app showing indicated page"]]
#You will then be prompted to remove Backup and Sync from your system, go ahead and select the "OK" option as this software will eventually become depreciated.
#:[[File:Screenshot 2021-10-11 124817.jpg|800px|alt="Screenshot of Google Drive app showing indicated button"]]
# Congratulations! Drive for Desktop is now installed on your system and you can start to save files to the Google Drive directory in your filesystem. Any folders previously backed up by Backup and Sync will now be backed up by Drive for Desktop as will as any files saved to the Google Drive directory in your filesystem.

Google Drive/Migrating from Backup and Sync to Drive for Desktop

2026-04-03T20:19:11Z

Ianc: /* Windows Setup */

Google has unified their previous two existing Drive sync clients (Backup and Sync and Drive File Stream) into a single sync client called Drive for desktop. If you were previously using Backup and Sync, please follow the steps below to migrate from Backup and Sync to Drive for desktop.

==Windows Setup==
# Click on the Backup and Sync cloud icon in the lower righthand corner of your desktop. If the icon is not immediately visible, select the up arrow to show more icons.
#: [[File:Screenshot 2021-10-11 124233.jpg|400px|alt="Refer to adjacent text"]]
# Select the "GET STARTED" button.
#: [[File:Screenshot 2021-10-11 124302.jpg|400px|alt="Refer to adjacent text"]]
# Select the "Sign in" button. This will bring up your associated Google Accounts. Make sure to select the account with <DIRECTORYID>@umd.edu.
#: [[File:Screenshot 2021-10-11 124350.jpg|800px|alt="Refer to adjacent text"]]
# After you have signed in, Drive for Desktop will check your folders to make sure all of your files are up to date and ask you to review your settings and inform you of the location of your Google Drive in your local filesystem.
# Drive for Desktop will then ask you if you would like to store your photos and videos from your computer on your Google Drive or your Google Photos. NOTE: If you select the Google Photos option, you will need to sign into Google Photos using your <DIRECTORYID>@umd.edu Google account to access them. They will not sync into your personal Google account.
#:[[File:Screenshot 2021-10-11 124737.jpg|800px|alt="Refer to adjacent text"]]
#You will then be prompted to remove Backup and Sync from your system, go ahead and select the "OK" option as this software will eventually become depreciated.
#:[[File:Screenshot 2021-10-11 124817.jpg|800px|alt="Refer to adjacent text"]]
# Congratulations! Drive for Desktop is now installed on your system and you can start to save files to the Google Drive directory in your filesystem. Any folders previously backed up by Backup and Sync will now be backed up by Drive for Desktop as will as any files saved to the Google Drive directory in your filesystem.

Ianc: /* Steps */

This page will show you how to view room schedules through Google Calendar.

== Steps ==
# Navigate to https://calendar.google.com. [[File:GoogleCalendar_Initial.png|border|775px|alt="Screenshot of Google Calendar"]] 
# Ensure that you are logged into your UMD account. Only these accounts can view rooms. Switch or add an account if not: Google has instructions [https://support.google.com/docs/answer/2405894?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en here]. When adding an account you will be prompted by Google for your email/phone. This is your UMD username that you use to log into the UMD Central Authentication System (CAS) appended with <code>@umd.edu</code>. For example <code>username@umd.edu</code>. You will then be redirected to the UMD CAS login page if you don't have a current session open. [[File:GoogleCalendar_AccountSelector.png|border|775px|alt="Screenshot of Google Calendar account selector"]] 
# Click on the cog in the top right and click Settings to open the settings menu. [[File:GoogleCalendar_ViewSettings.png|border|775px|alt="Refer to adjacent text"]] 
# Expand Add Calendar on the left pane and select Browse resources. [[File:GoogleCalendar_BrowseResources.png|border|775px|alt="Refer to adjacent text"]] 
# Scroll down to IRB (the building code for Iribe) and tick the checkbox for each room that you want to add to your Google Calendar view. [[File:GoogleCalendar_ChooseRooms.png|border|775px|alt="Refer to adjacent text"]] 
# Click the back arrow in the top left (not the browser back arrow) to return to the main Google Calendar view. All of the calendars you subscribed to (and their events) should now be visible. You can also untick individual calendars on the left pane to temporarily hide one or more of the calendars you subscribed to. Switching to Day view in the top right will also show you one column per room if you prefer. [[File:GoogleCalendar_ViewCalendars.png|border|775px|alt="Refer to adjacent text"]]

Python can be user installed.
Below are installation instructions for both .exe and MSI installers. MSI installers have been discontinued for Python version 3.5 and above.
== Installing Python via .exe ==
# Download Python application of the version you want from [https://www.python.org/download/ here]. Note that there are options for the 32-bit or 64-bit version, but you might need to do some searching.
# Click run, to run the installer.
#* [[File:click_run.png|850px|alt="Refer to adjacent text"]]
# Select Install Now. Make sure that you uncheck the "Install launcher for all users" box. Leaving this checked will cause the installation to fail.
#* [[File: select_location.png|600px|alt="Screenshot of Python setup"]]
# Finish the installation [https://www.python.org/download/ here].

This installer will automatically allow you to access Python from the command line by just typing <code>py</code> instead of the full path.

== Installing Python via MSI ==
# Download Python windows MSI installer from [https://www.python.org/download/ here]. Note that there are options for the 32-bit or 64-bit version, but you might need to do some searching.
# Click run, to run the installer.
#* [[File:click_run_msi.PNG|750px|alt="Refer to adjacent text"]]
# Select a home directory as the install folder (i.e.<code>C:\Users\[YOURUSERNAME]\Documents\Pythonx.x.x</code>) where x represents the version number.
#* [[File: select_location_msi.PNG|500px|alt="Screenshot of Python Installer directory selection"]]
# Finish the installation.

If you want to be able to access Python from the command line by just typing <code>python</code> instead of the full path (i.e. <code>\temp\pythonfolder\python</code>) you have to add the python folder to your path.
# Navigate to <code>Control Panel</code> -> <code>System and Security</code> -> <code>System</code>
# Select <code>Advanced system settings</code> from the sidebar
# In the <code>Advanced</code> tab click the <code>Environment Variables...</code> button
# Check if a Variable called <code>Path</code> exists in the list of user variables
#* If it exists, add the python directory to the end of the Path value separated by a semicolon (i.e. <code>C:\Things\In\Path;C:\Path\To\Python\Folder</code>)
#* If it does not, press the New button and set the variable name to <code>Path</code> and the value to the path to your python directory

== Installing Modules ==

==== Using an executable ====
Alternatively, python executable modules can be found on the web, and the executable installed

==== Using python ====
Modules can be installed as the normally would using python.

For instance if the python directory is in your path you merely navigate to the module directory and run:
python setup.py install

==== Using easy_install ====
;These steps assume that Visual Studio is installed (It is by default)
First, we configure python to work with Visual Studio
# Open the file <code>msvc9compiler.py</code> from the location <code>C:\Path\To\Python\Folder\...\Lib\distutils\msvc9compiler.py </code> using a text editor such as notepad
# Replace the line containing <code>toolskey = "VS%0.f0COMNTOOLS" % version </code> with the following <code>toolskey = "vs110COMNTOOLS" </code>, where 110 is a three digit number corresponding to the version number of Visual Studio 2012
#:*To do this, type <code> Ctr + a </code> to highlight all the text, and type <code> Ctrl + f </code> to search for the line to be replaced, and edit the file to replace it
# Also replace the line containing <code> mfinfo = self.manifest_get_embed_info(target_desc, Id_args) </code> with the line: <code> mfinfo = None </code>

Next we install the module
# Download the easy_install graphical installer from [https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py here]
# Run the downloaded file, it should open a command line and finish the installation
#* The installed files should be located in <code> C:\Path\To\Python\Folder\..\Scripts</code>
# There are several different python modules, so note the name of the module you want to install. numPy will be installed here.
# Open a command prompt, by pressing the start button, and searching <code> cmd </code>
#*[[File: Cmd.png | 400px|alt="Refer to adjacent text"]]
# At the prompt, type the full path to easy_install executable and the name of the python module you need. ie. <code> C:\Path\To\Python\Folder\..\Scripts\easy_install.exe module_Name</code>
#:where module_Name is the name of the module, numPy in this case

Ianc: /* Connecting to a printer */

==Overview==
Printing from your self-supported Ubuntu laptop or desktop is supported. If you are sitting at a UMIACS-supported Ubuntu desktop, please see our common UNIX/Linux printing documentation for [[CUPS]] instead.

This documentation may not work for all versions of Ubuntu. If you run into any issues, please [[HelpDesk | contact staff]].

===Printer Accessibility===
In order to print you '''need to be on the UMIACS internal network''', either via a wired proxy drop or an [[SecureShellTunneling | SSH tunnel]].

==Connecting to a printer==
In order for printing to function properly, you must complete '''ALL''' of the following steps:
# Open a web browser and go to <code>localhost:631</code>. This will bring up the CUPS home page.
#: [[File:Cups_home_page_12-2024.png|700px|alt="Screenshot of CUPS home page"]]
# At the top of the screen, select '''Administration'''. If you're given a login prompt, enter your username and password for the computer. Select the 'Add Printer' button.
#: [[File:Cups_admin_page_12-2024.png|700px|alt="Refer to adjacent text"]]
# Open a new tab in your web browser and navigate to https://print.umiacs.umd.edu/printers.
# Find the '''name''' of the printer that you wish to connect to. If you are unsure of which one to pick, see the [[PrinterQueueNaming | selecting a print queue]] page.
# Navigate back to the 'Add Printer' page. Select the 'Internet Printing Protocol (ipp)' radio button, then hit the 'Continue' button.
#: [[File:Cups_ipp_radio_button_12-2024.png|450px|alt="Refer to adjacent text"]]
# Next to the 'Connection:' field, enter <code>ipp://print.umiacs.umd.edu:631/printers/</code> with the name of the printer added at the end. For instance, to add cps432-3208 (color printer in IRB 3208), you would enter <code>ipp://print.umiacs.umd.edu:631/printers/cps432-3208</code> in the field. Hit 'Continue'.
#: [[File:Cups_connection_entry_12-2024.png|500px|alt="Refer to adjacent text"]]
# Enter the printer '''name''' in the 'Name:' field. It's recommended to enter useful information in the 'Description:' and 'Location:' fields, but it's not required. Keep 'Share This Printer' unchecked. Hit 'Continue'.
#: [[File:Cups_name_entry_12-2024.png|500px|alt="Refer to adjacent text"]]
# In the 'Make:' list, select the brand of the printer as noted in step 4, and click 'Continue'.
#: [[File:Cups_make_selection_12-2024.png|400px|alt="Screenshot of make options"]]
# In the 'Model:' list, select the specific model of the printer as noted in step 4. Then click 'Add Printer'.
#: [[File:Cups_model_selection_12-2024.png|500px|alt="Screenshot of model options"]]
# The printer likely requires additional configuration. When adding the printer through the CUPS interface, it is added system-wide. It can be viewed and modified in the 'Printers' menu of the Ubuntu settings, where in Ubuntu 24.04, there is a kebab menu for each printer added. In the kebab menu, select 'Printing Options'. We recommend changing the printer options here instead of in the CUPS browser interface, though you can make changes there if you prefer.
#: [[File:Ubuntu_printer_options-12-2024.png|600px|alt="Screenshot of Ubuntu printer options"]]
# In 'Page Setup', at minimum, change the media size to 'US Letter', unless you're specifically printing from a tray which doesn't use letter paper. Change the 'Pages per side', 'Two-sided', and 'Orientation' settings according to your preferences.
#: [[File:Ubuntu_page_setup_12-2024.png|600px|alt="Refer to adjacent text"]]
# The available settings depend on the printer you added. For cps432-3208, there is an 'Installable Options' menu. Use this to configure the trays according to the printer's tray configuration.
#: [[File:Ubuntu_tray_setup_12-2024.png|600px|alt="Refer to adjacent text"]]
# Verify this process by printing a test page, which is the top left button in the 'Printing Options' submenu in Ubuntu 24.04. You should get the default Ubuntu test page. If you just get a page with a string of text then the printer is not properly configured, and you should verify the settings.

Ianc: /* GNU Modules */

=GNU Modules=
Many large institutions use the concept of Modules to load software into user environments. They provide a way to add and remove environmental variables that provide access to UMIACS' large set of software that we offer on our [[RHEL | Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)]] and [[Ubuntu]] platforms. They work by customizing your shell environment which is done automatically for the two major shell families (bash/sh (default shell) and tcsh/csh). If you use an alternate shell, please look to source the appropriate script for your shell in <tt>/usr/share/Modules/init</tt>.

Initially your module environment is empty, though included in your module path are local operating system specific modules, locally built software modules, and binary software modules ([[Matlab]], Intel Compiler, etc.).

==Available Software==
To see if a piece of software is available, use the <tt>module avail</tt> command. This can be given a trailing prefix on the command line to search a subset of the available software.

<pre>
[username@nexusstaff00 ~]$ module avail cuda
--------------------------- /opt/common/.modulefiles ---------------------------
cuda/3.2.16 cuda/6.5.14 cuda/9.0.176 cuda/11.0.3 cuda/11.8.0
cuda/4.2.9 cuda/7.0.28 cuda/9.1.85 cuda/11.1.1 cuda/12.0.1
cuda/5.0.35 cuda/7.5.18 cuda/9.2.148 cuda/11.2.2 cuda/12.1.1
cuda/5.5.11 cuda/8.0.27rc2 cuda/10.0.130 cuda/11.3.1
cuda/5.5.22 cuda/8.0.44 cuda/10.1.243 cuda/11.4.4
cuda/6.0.37 cuda/8.0.61 cuda/10.2.89 cuda/11.7.0
</pre>

<pre>
[username@nexusstaff00 ~]$ module avail Python3
------------------------- /opt/local/stow/.modulefiles -------------------------
Python3/3.5.2 Python3/3.8.2 Python3/3.8.15 Python3/3.9.16
Python3/3.6.15 Python3/3.8.10 Python3/3.9.5 Python3/3.10.4
Python3/3.7.13 Python3/3.8.12 Python3/3.9.6 Python3/3.10.10
Python3/3.7.16 Python3/3.8.13 Python3/3.9.12 Python3/3.11.2
</pre>

Some pieces of software may have default versions that are loaded if no version is explicitly specified, indicated by <code>(default)</code> coming after their name/version in the output of <tt>module avail</tt>. If a piece of software does not have any default version and you load it without specifying a version, you will load the most recent version of it.

==Adding Modules into your Environment==
You can simply add a module into your environment by using the <tt>module add <module></tt> command.

<pre>
[username@nexusstaff00 ~]$ module add cuda
</pre>

You can also specify a specific version of the software when we have multiple ones available.

<pre>
[username@nexusstaff00 ~]$ module add Python3/3.10.10
</pre>

==Listing Modules==
You can list the currently loaded modules in your environment by using the '''list''' command.

<pre>
[username@nexusstaff00 ~]$ module list
Currently Loaded Modulefiles:
1) Python3/3.10.10 2) cuda/12.1.1
</pre>

==Showing a Module==
You can show what the module is going to add to your environment (and the dependencies that will be added) with the '''show''' command.

<pre>
[username@nexusstaff00 ~]$ module show cuda
-------------------------------------------------------------------
/opt/common/.modulefiles/cuda/12.1.1:

conflict cuda/12.0.1 cuda/11.8.0 cuda/11.7.0 cuda/11.4.4 cuda/11.2.2 cuda/11.1.1 cuda/11.0.3 cuda/10.2.89 cuda/10.1.243 cuda/10.0.130 cuda/9.2.148 cuda/9.1.85 cuda/9.0.176 cuda/8.0.61 cuda/8.0.44 cuda/8.0.27rc2 cuda/7.5.18 cuda/7.0.28 cuda/6.5.14 cuda/6.0.37 cuda/5.5.22 cuda/5.5.11 cuda/5.0.35 cuda/4.2.9 cuda/3.2.16
prepend-path PATH /opt/common/cuda/cuda-12.1.1/bin
prepend-path LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/common/cuda/cuda-12.1.1/lib64
prepend-path LD_RUN_PATH /usr/lib64/nvidia:/usr/lib/nvidia:/opt/common/cuda/cuda-12.1.1/lib64:/opt/common/cuda/cuda-12.1.1/lib
prepend-path LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib64/nvidia:/usr/lib/nvidia:/opt/common/cuda/cuda-12.1.1/lib64:/opt/common/cuda/cuda-12.1.1/lib

prepend-path PKG_CONFIG_PATH /opt/common/cuda/cuda-12.1.1/pkgconfig
setenv CUDA_HOME /opt/common/cuda/cuda-12.1.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
</pre>

==Removing Modules in your Environment==
If you want to remove a module because it conflicts or you want to clean up your environment you can by using the <tt>module rm <module></tt> command.

==Using Modules in Scripts==
To use modules within a shell script or interpreted language you will need to load a file from <tt>/usr/share/Modules/init</tt> into your program.

===Bash===
<pre>
. /usr/share/Modules/init/bash
module add gcc
</pre>

===Tcsh===
<pre>
source /usr/share/Modules/init/tcsh
module add gcc
</pre>

==Modules in Non-Interactive Shell Sessions==
In non-interactive shell sessions (non-login shells), the Modules configuration environment will not automatically load. This will also occur if the OS version of the compute node you are scheduled on is different from the OS version of the submission node you are submitting the job from.

If you will need the use of Modules in non-interactive [[SLURM]] jobs, cross-OS jobs, or other similar sessions, you will need to include the following in your shell init scripts. For [[SLURM]] specifically, please ensure you include these statements after any #SBATCH directives in your submission batch scripts, otherwise these directives will not work.

===Bash===
<pre>
. /usr/share/Modules/init/bash
. /etc/profile.d/ummodules.sh
</pre>

===Tcsh===
<pre>
source /usr/share/Modules/init/tcsh
source /etc/profile.d/ummodules.csh
</pre>

==Modules on RHEL9 Desktop Sessions==
Because of changes made in GNOME between RHEL8 and RHEL9, the <tt>module</tt> command will not work on desktop sessions out of the box. In order to use modules in a shell opened from a desktop session, you must source the modules init script. See [[#Modules in Non-Interactive Shell Sessions]] for the required commands. For convenience, we recommend adding this to the top of your shell init file (e.g ~/.bashrc, ~/.tcshrc), this way it gets sourced automatically with each new shell.

Note that this issue does not affect RHEL9 SSH sessions, only sessions using the desktop GUI.

==Additional Help==
You can type <tt>module</tt> with no arguments for a full list of commands or <tt>man module</tt> for further information.

Ubuntu

2026-03-08T23:06:06Z

Ianc: /* Software */

To provide a more up to date desktop Linux experience, UMIACS provides support for Ubuntu LTS (long-term support) releases. We will only be supporting LTS releases as there is a large amount of work that goes into testing the auto installer and supporting the more cutting edge Ubuntu releases.

Previous Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Support) releases are supported for 3 years on the desktop and 5 years on the server. Starting with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, LTS releases will be supported for 5 years on both the desktop and the server.
* Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy)- End of life date: April 2027
* Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble)- End of life date: April 2029

===Features===
* Users have the ability to install software from blessed repositories without staff intervention.
* More bleeding edge desktop software experience than our [[RHEL | Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)]] offerings.

===Software===
Besides being able to install software from the blessed Ubuntu universes we provide only our binary software common tree to Ubuntu LTS releases. This is analogous to the traditional software found in <tt>/opt</tt> but is now found in <tt>/opt/common</tt>. The software includes [[Matlab]], Mathematica, Compilers, etc. Starting with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, you can use [[Modules]] to easily load these paths and relevant libraries into your environment. Also, please see [[Ubuntu/SoftwareCenter | Ubuntu Software Center]].

===Data Storage===
Please see the UNIX section in our [[FilesystemDataStorage]] article.
