Getting started with modules - UCL/ECON-CLUSTER GitHub Wiki

On Unix systems, modules provide a convenient method to set environment settings used by various software packages. To use modules on on the CS cluster, you must:

1. Run the script `modules.sh'.
2. Load the modules you want.

For example,

    . /share/apps/econ/Modules/modules.sh
    module load stata
    module avail
    module list

These 4 lines do the following:

1. Runs the script `modules.sh' to set up the modules software.
2. Loads the "Stata" module.
3. Lists the modules that are "available".
4. Lists the modules that are loaded.

After loading the "Stata" module, you can then start Stata with the command:

     xstata-mp
