The Argo cluster uses a system called Environment Modules to manage applications. Modules make sure that your environment variables are set up for the software you want to use. When you login the two modules “SLURM” and “GCC” are loaded by default. SLURM is a workload manager for Linux that manages job submission, deletion, and monitoring. The main commands are:
- “module avail” shows all the available modules.
- “module list” shows the modules that you have loaded at the moment.
- “module load name” or “module add name” adds the module “name” to your environment.
- “module unload name” or “module rm name” removes the module “name” from your environment.
- “module show name” or “module display name” gives a description of the module and also shows what it will do to your environment.
Typing “module” gives you a list of available command and arguments.
