== apt-get and yum == | |||
If the software includes instructions to run <code>apt-get</code> or <code>yum</code>, it is unlikely that you will be able to install it using those instructions. Look for instructions that say "to build from source", or contact [mailto:support@computecanada.ca support] for assistance. | |||
== Python, R, and Perl packages == | |||
[[Python]], [[R]], and [[Perl]] are languages with large libraries of extension packages, and package managers that can easily install almost any desired extension in your home directory. See the page for each language to find out if the package you're looking for is already available on our systems. If it is not, you should also find detailed guidance there on using that language's package manager to install it for yourself. | |||
