System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Installing software on the Yale SOM HPC cluster can be error-prone due to dependency conflicts, missing system permissions, and GLIBC compatibility issues. This Skill provides a guided approach to using cluster modules, uv/renv for language environments, and static/musl binaries, plus Apptainer containers, to simplify software setup without sudo.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Module-first discovery and loading: Discover and load system software safely using Lmod modules.
  • Language environments with uv/renv: Manage Python and R environments per project without system-level changes.
  • Containerized stacks with Apptainer: Build or run reproducible environments when binaries have library conflicts.
  • Use Case: When you need to install a new tool on the cluster, do not modify system files; use modules or Apptainer.

Quick Start

Follow these steps to install a tool on the Yale SOM HPC cluster using modules, uv, and Apptainer.
