Here, ‘module’ or ‘module load’ refers to software that is accessible through modules created by ITS.

MATLAB

Users can use UAlbany’s MATLAB license to work in MATLAB themselves. Instructions can be found here (link)

RStudio

Users can use RStudio by following instructions at this link: link

Python (Jupyter Notebooks)

Users can spawn a Jupyter Notebook in two ways:

Through JupyterHub: link

or

by creating a custom job via our SLURM job scheduler: link

The former has predefined resource options, while the latter allows you to allocate the resources you know or anticipate you will need for your notebook.

SAS/STATA

Instructions for SAS: link

Instructions for STATA: link

Cadence

Miniconda

Users can also install python packages for themselves in conda environments within a lab directory. Instructions on how to do this can be found here (link). Examples of software that can be installed via conda are shown in the table below:
