Environment Modules
For some software multiple versions are available. To use it, the environment has to be set up. This is easily achieved using environment modules. For example, to use GCC 4.9 execute
module load gcc/4.9
module avail |
list available modulues |
module load <name> |
load specified module |
module unload <name> |
unload specified module |
If the module command is not available in your shell, make sure it
loads /etc/profile, or loads /usr/share/modules/init/<shell> in
some other way.
You can load modules in your init files (.bashrc and so forth) to set up a common session.
Writing
TeX Live
The TeX live version currently installed in the institute is TeX Live 2007. Even after the planned update of Debian this will only upgrade to TeX live 2009. Therefore there is a local current TeX live installation available in /opt/texlive/current.
To use the current TeX live distribution (2011) setup paths
source texlive-paths
The best way to do this is to add it to your ~/.profile
file and load it in your shell. You can accomplish it in the following
way:
echo "source texlive-paths" >> ~/.profile
In order to load the settings from the ~/.profile file in
your shell add:
source ~/.profile
to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc file.
To use it with KDE, you can do the following:
[ -d ~/.kde/env ] || mkdir -p ~/.kde/env cat > ~/.kde/env/profile.sh <<EOF #!/bin/sh source ~/.profile EOF chmod +x ~/.kde/env/profile.sh
Matlab
Starting from 01.12.2018, the University of Leipzig has a non-commercial license for MATLAB and Simulink.
You have to register at https://www.mathworks.com/academia/tah-portal/universitat-leipzig-40758592.html
using your university email address. An @itp.uni-leipzig.de address works totally fine.
If problems occur, please contact mailto: software@uni-leipzig.de.
Mathematica
Mathematica will ask for a license the first time it is started. Please enter the network license.
We have a network license of Mathematica up to version 11.2 that allows the concurrent
usage of up to 9 Mathematica instances. The license server is 172.18.88.232 or vmurzlic4.rz.intern.uni-leipzig.de.
You can enter this address under "Help"->"Enter Activation Key"->"Other ways to activate".
For Mathematice version >11.2 we have another license server at vmurzlic1.rz.intern.uni-leipzig.de with
up to 5 instances.
The license server is administrated by mailto:schwarzenberg@uni-leipzig.de or mailto:laudel@uni-leipzig.de.
We further have 5 Mathematica licenses for Mathematica 12, where the license server is vmurzlic1.rz.intern.uni-leipzig.de.
Please do close unused Mathematica sessions. To check license usage
use the monitorlm utility. If Mathematica is killed, it will
take some time until the license returns to the pool (possibly about
15 minutes).

Emacs like keys for 'konsole" and zsh
Add the following to your ~/.inputrc:
## for ITP # alt + right "^[[1;3C": forward-word # alt + left "^[[1;3D": backward-word
you can load it in zsh by the following command in your ~/.zshrc
bindkey -e # bind special keys according to readline configuration eval "$(sed -n 's/^/bindkey /; s/: / /p' ~/.inputrc)"
