Module Installation


Hello,

I'm completely new to working with Linux and am having some trouble.
I would like to install a program, Sentaurus TCAD. It should be available as a module to me.

I've opened the list of the modules with "module available" and used "module load" to load the program. Terminal shows that it has loaded correctly.

However, how do I now install and open it?

Is there a specific command for installing modules?

Thank you for any help.

The term “module” is very vague. What program do you use to list modules?

How does it show that?

It looks like there are installation guides for the products of the software maker. The company also offers product support.

So far, I have simply put all commands into terminal, attempting to follow this page: https://uisapp2.iu.edu/confluence-pr...geId=115540061. module list shows the modules as loaded.

It seems that your computer uses modules as described in your link. This is not standard Linux software, which explains why my first answer was so vague.

The modules load command creates an environment that allows you to run a certain program or set of programs.

The term "environment" is very specific and means a set of key-value pairs like PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/gcc/6.3.1/linux-x86_64/bin. In this example, PATH is the key, and the string to the right of the equals sign is the value. The correct term for a key like PATH is "environment variable" or "shell variable".

So, after you have set up the required environment, you will still have to run your program(s). The bad news is that the module command won't do that for you, since it only manages environments, and I won't be able to tell you either. You need to find out how to run Sentaurus TCAD.

If you have no other resources, I or other people hanging out on Linuxquestions might be able to help if you shared your environment with us. I don't know module, but perhaps the commands module help NAME_OF_YOUR_MODULE or module show NAME_OF_YOUR_MODULE provide enough information. If not, you could share the output of the env command after running module load.
