Installing own tools

Adding some packages to existing modules

• Generally the easiest option.

• CSC Docs: Installing Python packages to existing modules

  • python-geo, pytorch, python-data etc.

  • The added package must be available via pip.

• CSC Docs: R package installations

• CSC Docs: Julia, adding packages to an environment

Tykky

• The easiest way to create a custom installation is with Tykky

• Tykky has 3 options, new installation based on:

  • conda .yml file

  • pip requirement file

  • Existing Docker image

• CSC Docs: Tykky

• LUMI Docs: container-wrapper is the same as Tykky

Do not use “normal” conda installations

• “Normal” conda installations create a lot of files - up to hundreds of thousands

• Supercomputers do not like too many files

• Use Tykky to create containerized conda installation

Other

• CSC Docs: Installing software, inc installing from source, Spack

• LUMI Docs: Installing additional software, inc installing from source, EasyBuild

• Generally useful? -> ask from servicedesk to install
