[slurm-users] Slurm and available libraries

[John Hearns]

Hi Elisabetta.  No, you normally do not need to install software on all the
compute nodes separately.

It is quite common to use the 'modules' environment to manage software like
this

Once you have numpy installed on a shared drive on the cluster, and have a
Modules file in place, your users put this at the start of their job
scripts:
module load numpy

You might also want to look at Easybuild

There are Easybuild 'recipes' for numpy. We use them where I work.
