Packages and Compilers installed on Pelican


For users' convenience, many software packages and compilers have been installed on Pelican. You can use SoftEnv which is a utility to help users manage complex user environments. Let's say you want to use the Gaussian 03 on Pelican. The softenv entry in the table is '+gaussian-03'. Here are the steps you follow.

Step 1: Add /usr/local/packages/softenv-1.6.2/bin to your PATH variable and export it. Ideally you would do this in your .cshrc or .bashrc.Using the softenv command, a user may view the list of available packages.

Step 2: To utilize Gaussian03, you need to add +gaussian-03 to the .soft file in your home directory. To update the environment when modifying this file, one simply uses the resoft command resoft or log out and login again.
