About this webinar

Software installation on High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems differs from typical installations on personal computers due to multi-user environments, shared resources, and system-wide configurations. Instead of installing software globally, users often work within shared or isolated environments while leveraging specialized tools for software management.There are multiple methods available to install software on HPC systems depending on their specific configuration.

This webinar is designed for new users of supercomputers who want to install software by themselves. It will briefly cover topics such as compiling code from source (make and cmake), utilizing “package managers” (conda, Spack, and EasyBuild), and deploying executables with containers (Singularity).

Who is this webinar for?

This webinar is ideal for beginners who will work with high-performance computing environment and interested in managing to install software by themselves.

Key takeaways

By the end of this webinar, you will:

• Understand basics of HPC software installation learn why software installation on HPC differs from regular systems.

• Explore different software installation methods learn best practices for managing software dependencies.

• Gain hands-on experience with practical examples.
