Discover provides multiple softwares and packages pre-installed to facilitate user needs.
Most, if not all, packages can be loaded using the module command. If the software is in a location other than /usr/local/other/.., users may need to instantiate the software/package by updating PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables.
Users are recommended to look at all the packages available for use on the Discover cluster by running “module avail” or looking in the following directory:
