Grid'5000 provides a set of software (mainly scientific-related) using Lmod, thanks to the module command line tool.
They are available from Grid5000 frontends or cluster's nodes (only on debianXX-big and debianXX-nfs environment if deployment is used).
The modules command
General usage
The module system is designed to load software and make it available by modifying environment (such as your PATH variable).
To get started, list available software using:

|---|---|
If you need additional software to be installed, feel free to contact Grid5000 support team and we can look into it. | |
To load something into your environment use the load command:
$ module load gcc $ gcc --version gcc (Spack GCC) 12.2.0
By default, module loads the latest version available of a software (sorted by lexicographical order). You can also specify the version you need:
$ module load gcc/10.4.0_gcc-10.4.0 $ gcc --version gcc (Spack GCC) 10.4.0
You can also find out more information about the package using whatis or show commands:
$ module whatis gcc $ module show gcc
If you want to unload one or all the currently loaded modules, you can use:
$ module unload gcc $ module purge
The full documentation of module command is available at: http://modules.sourceforge.net/
Modules that require connection to license server
Some modules are licensed and require a connection to a license server. We currently propose two license protected modules, Matlab and DDT/Map, with easier access to some institutional license servers. To use them, you just need to join the correct group from the User Management Service.
| Group | Software | Server | Usage | Allowed users |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| matlab-inria-sophia | matlab | matlab-sam.inria.fr | export LM_LICENSE_FILE=29030@jetons.inria.fr | MatLab access for members of teams and services of Centre Inria d'Université Côte d'Azur |
| matlab-inria-rennes | matlab | licence.irisa.fr | export LM_LICENSE_FILE=1731@licence.irisa.fr | MatLab access for members of teams and services of either Centre Inria de l'Université de Rennes or UMR IRISA |
| matlab-inria-nancy | matlab | flexlm1.univ-lorraine.fr | export LM_LICENSE_FILE=27000@flexlm1.univ-lorraine.fr | MatLab access for members of teams and services of Centre Inria de l’Université de Lorraine |
| matlab-inria-lyon | matlab | jetons.inria.fr | export LM_LICENSE_FILE=29030@jetons.inria.fr | MatLab access for members of teams and services of Centre Inria de Lyon |
| matlab-inria-grenoble | matlab | jetons.inria.fr | export LM_LICENSE_FILE=29030@jetons.inria.fr | MatLab access for members of teams and services of Centre Inria de l'Université Grenoble Alpes |
| ddt-inria-all | ddt | jetons.inria.fr | - | Access to DDT for members of Inria teams and services |
Last generated from the Grid'5000 API on 2023-11-13
We plan to add other institutional license servers on this list.
Matlab example
- Make sure you are a member of the matlab-inria-grenoble in the User Management Service. If not, ask to join the group.
- Set up the link to the MatLab licenses server:
(node):~$ export LM_LICENSE_FILE=29030@jetons.inria.fr
- Load the Matlab module named matlab (with version accordingly to your provided license), for example:
(node):~$ module load matlab/R2022b
- Start Matlab without graphical environment:
(node):~$ matlab -nodisplay -nodesktop -nosplash
|
|
Note |
|---|---|
If you have access to other licenses from your workstation, you can also make a ssh port redirection. For example, if you have access to the Université de Lorraine license, you can:
(workstation):~$ ssh -R 27000:flexlm1.univ-lorraine.fr:27000 -R 27001:flexlm1.univ-lorraine.fr:27001 <node>.<site>.g5k
(node):~$ export LM_LICENSE_FILE=27000@127.0.0.1
| |
Note: No Matlab License server is needed to use Matlab Runtime on nodes.
DDT/Map example
In the following example, we are using the Inria license server to run ddt because, currently, the DDT/Map module is supported only for Inria members.
- Make sure you are a member of the ddt-inria-all in the User Management Service. If not, ask to join the group.
- Connect from your workstation to your previously reserved node.
(workstation) % ssh -YC <node>.<site>.g5k
- Load the Matlab module named ddt (with version accordingly to your provided license), for example:
(node):~$ module load ddt
- Start DDT using the GUI:
(node):~$ ddt
|
|
Note |
|---|---|
If you want to specify other licenses, you can place them in ~/ddt/Licence.client.ddt and ~/ddt/Licence.client.map | |
Sharing modules between users
Modules can be shared between users by using a group storage.
|
|
Note |
|---|---|
This documentation assume that you already know what is a group storage, and that you already have one for storing your modules. If it's not the case, check the Group Storage Documentation. | |
Put the modules in a dedicated folder of the group storage, so that the modules are reachable by any user belonging to the group storage.
|
access:
|
rsync modules-dir/ /srv/my-storage@storage_fqdn/modules-dir |
After adding the directory to the MODULEPATH environment variable, the modules inside this directory will be loadable by other users of the group.
This can be done by using one of the two following commands.
|
|
node:
|
module use /srv/my-storage@storage_fqdn/modules-dir |
or
|
|
node:
|
export MODULEPATH=/srv/my-storage@storage_fqdn/modules-dir:$MODULEPATH |
Finally, the modules can be loaded.
|
|
node:
|
module load my-personal-module |
If you are not familiar with modules, you will find here a sample setup to build and share a set of modules of your own.
