A large number of common Linux software tools are available on the cluster (compute nodes and development nodes) as part of the core setup. Below follows a small excerpt of what tools are available.
Note: These core tools will be updated without notice as the operating system is updated on a regular basis via the CentOS package mangager yum. Many of the tools originate from the (stable) CentOS 7 Extras and EPEL repositories. To see what software and system libraries that are installed, run yum list installed
. Please note that, compared to compute nodes, the development nodes have additional software installed (typically named -devel
) needed to build and compile from source.
