Installing New Packages - statonlab/UTIA_Computational_Resource GitHub Wiki

In many cases, binaries for existing tools can be directly downloaded (typically amd64 or x86_64) and made executable using chmod +x <binary>. Otherwise the below options are sensible.

  1. Conda

You may find that Spack does not have your package of interest. Alternatively, the package is available, but it is either out of date or causes errors upon attempting installation. One method you may try to get the package is through Conda, a package-management system that allows you to create an environment and install new packages within it. If your package is available on Conda, you can run conda install within a Conda environment to begin using it.

  1. Apptainer/Singularity

If Conda will not work, it may be wise to learn how to use apptainer (FKA singularity) to run containerized versions of existing tools.

  1. Module

Module is a package management tool that OIT to install a wide range of programs. Programs can be installed OIT only, so you'll need to request a ticket.
