How can I change which version of StdEnv
is my default?
Our clusters use different versions of StdEnv
as their default version. As of August 2020, Cedar and Graham use StdEnv/2016.4
, while Béluga uses StdEnv/2018.3
. Niagara also defaults to StdEnv/2018.3
if you run module load CCEnv StdEnv
. In the future, we will probably update all of them to use StdEnv/2020
. However, users can specify their own default by running the following command (example provided for the 2020 version)
[name@server ~]$ echo "module-version StdEnv/2020 default" >> $HOME/.modulerc
Do I need to reinstall/recompile my code if the StdEnv
version changes?
Yes. If you compile your own code, or install R or Python packages, you should recompile or reinstall the packages you need using the newest version of the standard environment.
