The cluster uses environment modules to control what software is loaded in your environment. Certain software will be loaded by default, but there are other versions available to keep analyses consistent across a study or additional software that you may wish to load.

- “module list” will show you what is currently loaded

[cmp12@blade08 ~]$ module list
Currently Loaded Modulefiles:
  1) fsl/6.0.3           2) freesurfer/7.1.1    3) afni/21.1.04        4) ants/2.3.4          
  5) mrtrix3/3.0.2       6) singularity/3.6.3   7) matlab/R2019b

- “module avail” will show you what additional software or alternative are available
