Modules

Modules are a very convenient way to load preinstalled software. Some software (installed in collaboration with the DSI) should be used in a transparent manner with this tool, without worrying of any particular path.

The module tool should readily be available in any terminal. Try the following:

module av

If this issues an error, then to activate the module tool with the following command on your workstation:

source /etc/profile

On a cluster node:

source /etc/profile.d/z00_lmod.sh
source /etc/profile.d/00-modulepath.sh

The module tool is now accessible and you can get a list of installed software with the command:

module available 
module av

To load/unload one particular listed module:

module load MATLAB/R2017b
module unload MATLAB/R2017b

The same applies for MNE-python and muse:

module load MNE/0.16
module load MNE/0.16.2

This efficient procedure works the same way on your workstation and on the cluster nodes, even if the list of available modules slightly differ. On your workstation, you should favor the modules listed in the "workstation" section (which is absent on the node), and then the others.

On your workstation (according to the computer you work on, which can be seen with the command lsb_release -a entered in a terminal):

module load muse/1.9.30_centos
module load muse/1.9.30_linuxmint

On a cluster node:

module load muse/1.9.30

Accessing other software directly

The software preinstalled on the computers of the CENIR for MEG-EEG analysis are stored in the following directory:

/network/lustre/iss01/cenir/software/meeg

You will find here:

• matlab
• Muse
• MEGA_stat toolbox
• multiconv
• dataHandler
• Elekta software
• freesurfer
• brainvisa
• fsl
