The computer sitting in front of you wouldn't be of much use if not for software. In this documentation system, we've tried to keep software somewhat separate from other things such as Unix commands which, while they are software also, they are usually specific to one platform. Here you'll find some information on software packages available in Peyton, and links to their respective pages.


Modules

Many software packages listed below (and many others, such as specialty Python packages) are easily accessed using Modules. Rather than list the changing number of them here, issue a module avail command to see them all.


Licensed software

The following licensed software packages are installed on the network:


Other software

Some other programs installed on the network, or individually on specific machines, are:
