User maintained software

If a /usr/local/usrapps/group_name directory does not exist, see the following requirements for requesting the space:

Space for user maintained executables

Acceptable use
Procedure to request space under /usr/local/usrapps

Where to install?

A space in /usrapps is by default writable by everyone in the project, so all members have permissions to write directly to the /usrapps/$GROUP space. This leads to confusion and potential permissions problems. Users should create their own space within the group directory. Each user should make their own directory to install software and adjust permissions as necessary.

mkdir /usr/local/usrapps/$GROUP/$USER

How to install?

Please see the general guidance for installing software.

HPC maintained software

The following tables show the status of software that has been requested and/or installed on HPC systems for general use. Many of the applications require group membership for access. If a permission denied error is encountered for one of the packages, please contact HPC Support to be added, license permitting, to the list of users. For ANSYS and ANSYS CFD (previously CFX), please request access and agree to the licensing terms using the Request Access links provided below. For Gaussian, a license acknowledgement needs to be signed and returned to obtain access.
