Software Package/Environment Management Workshop

Provided by: SCINet

On October 3-4, 2024, the SCINet Office will be leading a 2-day workshop on Software Package/Environment Management.

In this workshop, we will cover best practices for managing software packages and computing environments on SCINet’s supercomputers. This will be a hands-on workshop that will provide you with the practical knowledge and skills you need to spend less time worrying about package management and more time focusing on your research!

Here is a daily breakdown of the topics:

  • Day 1, October 3, 1:00 PM - 4:30 PM ET: Introduction, Python & conda
  • Day 2, October 4, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM ET: R

If you did not have a chance to attend this workshop when we first offered it in July, please join us in October!

    In this session, we will begin by using R from the command line. Later, we will cover similar steps using RStudio Server available on Open OnDemand. We will primarily focus on using the renv package for package management, but we will also note alternatives at the end.
