-====== Physics and Astronomy-related software ====== +====== Locally-installed software ======
-Many packages such as cernlib, root, geant, etc are provided via the [[:computing:department:unix:software:ups|UPS product manager]]. Use the command ''ups list -aK+'' to get a brief listing of all such packages. More information is available in our introduction to UPS.+
  
-===== General Software and Packages ===== +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.
-These applications and packages are available to all users by default.+
  
 ==== Mathematica ==== ==== Mathematica ====
-Supported on Tru64 and Linux. Start Mathematica using the command ''mathematica'' for the XWindows notebook-style interface, or ''math'' for the terminal-based interface.+ 
 +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.

-==== MatLab ==== +==== MATLAB ====
-Supported on Tru64 and Linux. MatLab is started using the ''matlab'' command. Extensive online help is available.+
  
-==== CERN program library ==== +Use ''module load matlab'' to activate.
-On Tru64 and Linux systems, cernlib is available through the UPS ''setup'' command (''setup cern''). Several versions of cernlib may be available - use ''ups list'' to find out which.+
  
-After running ''setup cern'', some environment variables (eg ''CERNLIB'') will be set to enable location of the libraries. +After loading the module, matlab is started using the ''matlab'' command. Extensive online help is available.

-Fitting and plotting package, available on Tru64 and Linux. More info at the [[http://www-zeus.physik.uni-bonn.de/~brock/mn_fit.html|MN_FIT homepage]].+
  
-==== Physica ==== +Supermongo is a plotting and analysis program widely used in the astrophysics community. 
-Supported on both Tru64 and Linux. Info at [[http://www.triumf.ca/physica/html/homepage.html]].+Use ''module load sm'' to activate, followed by ''sm'' to run.
  
-Note, run physica by typing ''run_physica'' (this is a wrapper script which sets essential environment variables before starting the program). +More info at [[http://www.astro.princeton.edu/~rhl/sm]] and possibly from [[http://www.rebeccastanek.com/super/]].
