Software Environment
The primary source of software installed on HPC's Linux computers are Debian packages. For other software or additional versions we utilize
CvmFs.
Debian offers a wide variety of software packages (over 50000 according to
https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=debian).
Obviously the HPC Linux group cannot support all those packages, therefore we had to choose some standards:
Type |
Standard |
Also installed but unsupported |
Desktop Environment |
KDE |
XFCE |
Web Browser |
Firefox/Iceweasel |
Chromium, Konqueror, w3m |
Mail Client/PIM |
Thunderbird |
Evolution, KMail/Kontact, mutt , alpine |
Office |
Libreoffice |
|
The software installation lists are split in 3 categories:
- Minimal core software installed on all Linux farm nodes
- Development related software (libraries and headers, compilers, interpreters etc.).
- Desktop related software (office and productivity, IDEs, etc.)
