| This site replaces the former Compute Canada documentation site, and is now being managed by the Digital Research Alliance of Canada. Ce site remplace l'ancien site de documentation de Calcul Canada et est maintenant géré par l'Alliance de recherche numérique du Canada. |
Installation of software packages within the Compute Canada software environment is always performed using scripts. We use multiple tools, including EasyBuild, Gentoo Overlays (starting in 2020), and NixOS (formerly). This software environment can be used on any computer in the world thanks to CVMFS.
We also track all changes and new installations made to the software environment through Git, and you can see a list of recent changes in the links below.
