| ====== 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 ===== | |
| These applications and packages are available to all users by default. | |
| |
| | 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 ==== | ==== Mathematica ==== |
| 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 ==== | Use ''module load matlab'' to activate. |
| MatLab is started using the ''matlab'' command. Extensive online help is available. | |
| |
| ==== CERN program library ==== | After loading the module, matlab is started using the ''matlab'' command. Extensive online help is available. |
| 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. | |

| |
| ==== ROOT ==== | ==== ROOT ==== |
| Available via the UPS ''setup root'' command. | |
| |
| 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]] | 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]] |
| |
| ==== MN_FIT ==== | ==== Supermongo ==== |
| 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/]]. |
| | |
| ==== Supermongo ==== | |
| Plotting program, type ''sm'' to run. More info at [[http://www.astro.princeton.edu/~rhl/sm]] and possibly from [[http://www.astro.lsa.umich.edu/users/rstanek/sm.html]]. | |
