Firebird offers several software packages, both open-source and licensed. Access to many packages is controlled through modules: in order to use a particular software package, users must first load the appropriate module, which updates the user’s PATH and other environment variables to ensure the software works as expected.
List Available Modules
To see a list of available software modules:
module avail
Load a Software Module
To load a particular module:
module load mathematica/14
Note that because Firebird is a shared system, some software may be licensed only for one institution. For example, Stata is licensed differently for Swarthmore:
module avail stata
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /opt/modulefiles -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
stata/18-laf stata/18-swat (D)
Make sure to load the module for your institution.
