Working on Eve

Introduction

Members of the Department Environmental Informatics of the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ can use the frontend1- and frontend2-machines from the Eve cluster system.

You need to opt-in to use the EasyBuild modules! To do so follow these steps:

Login to frontend1 or frontend2
Run touch ~/.easybuild-yes
exit and re-login

Also on eve the installed git module (2.10) is over 2 years old and we recommend using a newer module (especially when you have problems with fetching or checking out of Git LFS files):

ml use /global/apps/modulefiles
ml git/2.20.1

Run OGS within a container

Eve has Singularity container runtime installed so you can simply download a prebuilt container and run OGS inside it. See the user guide for more infos.
