Top Directory ( /lsc )

The top directory for all installed software is /lsc

How applications are run on biotin2 and biotin3

R 3.6.1

R 3.6.1 is run as a module.

In order to use 3.6.1 type

   module load R/3.6.1


R 3.6.1, /usr/bin/screen and RedHat Software Collections (/usr/bin/scl)

Be careful when using the RedHat Software Collections: /usr/bin/scl resets your user environment, because it re-reads your .login/.bash_login/.profile/.bash_profile when it starts up (as it executes as a login shell)

/usr/bin/screen does the same thing: it re-reads your .login/.bash_login/.profile/.bash_profile and, therefore it resets your environment.


Should you want to use modules, screen, and the RedHat Software collection, the correct order is to:

  1. login in bioin2 or biotin3
  2. run /usr/bin/screen
  3. then scl rh-example8 enable bash
  4. finally, module load R/3.6.1
