{{indexmenu>:computing:department:unix}} ====== Locally-installed software ====== While some software packages are automatically available to all users (they are included in the default PATH), many are available via the [[computing:department:unix:software:modules|modules system]] and have to be activated before use. ==== Mathematica ==== Activate using ''module load mathematica'', after which you can use the command ''mathematica'' for the XWindows notebook-style interface, or ''math'' for the terminal-based interface. * More info at [[http://documents.wolfram.com/]] ==== MATLAB ==== Use ''module load matlab'' to activate. After loading the module, matlab is started using the ''matlab'' command. Extensive online help is available. ==== ROOT ==== The official documentation for ROOT may be found at [[http://root.cern.ch/]], but you should also check the much more useful [[:computing:contrib:root:|local documentation]] ==== Supermongo ==== Supermongo is a plotting and analysis program widely used in the astrophysics community. Use ''module load sm'' to activate, followed by ''sm'' to run. More info at [[http://www.astro.princeton.edu/~rhl/sm]] and possibly from [[http://www.rebeccastanek.com/super/]]. ===== Astronomy Software and Packages ===== These applications and packages are available by default only to users in the //astro// group. ==== STGMS ==== Space Telescope Grants Management System. Type ''stgms'' to run. ==== Spitzer Pride ==== Spitzer Pride includes Spot (Tool for Planning Observations) and Leopard (Archive Tool). Spot is a software package used by Spitzer observers to plan observations and submit proposals, and Leopard is a software package used to query the archive and download data. Available via UPS ''setup spitzer_pride'' command. ==== SPICE (Spitzer IRS Custom Extraction) ==== The Spitzer IRS Custom Extraction (SPICE) software provides a JAVA-based tool that allows the user to interactively extract Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) spectra. Type ''spice.csh'' to run.
