Environment Modules

The Modules package is a tool that simplifies shell initialization and lets users easily modify their environment during a session using module files. You can see the available modules using the avail command.

For example, you can use the following to load an older version of python:

module load python/3.6.15

to revert back to the version of python used in the cluster before the update.
