The Environment Modules package provides for the dynamic modification of a user's environment via modulefiles.
|
|
|
|
Each modulefile contains the information needed to configure the shell for an application.
|
|
Once the Modules package is initialized, the environment can be modified on a per-module basis
|
|
using the module command which interprets modulefiles. Typically modulefiles instruct the module command to
|
|
alter or set shell environment variables such as PATH, MANPATH, etc. modulefiles may be shared by many users
|
|
on a system and users may have their own collection to supplement or replace the shared modulefiles.
|
|
Modules are useful in managing different versions of applications. Modules can also be bundled into
|
|
metamodules that will load an entire suite of different applications.
