=== Change in kernel requirement === <!--T:12--> | === Change in kernel requirement === <!--T:12--> | ||
Versions 2016.4 and 2018.3 required a Linux kernel version 2.6.32 or more recent. This supported CentOS versions starting at CentOS 6. With the 2020 version, we require a Linux kernel 3.10 or better. This means it no longer supports CentOS 6, but requires CentOS 7 instead. Other distributions usually have kernels which are much more recent, so you probably don't need to change your distribution if you are using this standard environment on something other than CentOS. | Versions 2016.4 and 2018.3 required a Linux kernel version 2.6.32 or more recent.

=== Module extensions === | |||
With the 2020 environment, we started installing more python extensions inside of their corresponding core modules. For example, we install <tt>PyQt5</tt> inside of the <tt>qt/5.12.8</tt> module. We install it such that it support multiple versions of python. The module system has also been adjusted such that you can find such extensions. For example, if you run | |||
{{Command|module spider pyqt5}} | |||
it will tell you that you can get this by loading the <tt>qt/5.12.8</tt> module. | |||
