ITS Linux Computing


Software

The ITS Linux Labs are maintained with the Engineering students in mind, so that their software will run as smoothly as possible.  We will try to accommodate as many software packages as we can.  If you would like to see something added to this list, please email CLC-LINUX@psu.edu.

If you have problems with any of the software on the machines, please check the Software Lab Notes page first as your issue may be addressed there.

The core operating system we are using is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0.   We chose RHEL4, as it is the most widely accredited Linux distribution for many Engineering packages.  If you would like to know if a certain package is installed, run the command "rpm -qa |grep -i " followed by the name of the software package at a terminal prompt.  This will search the 'installed rpm packages' database.

The following is a list of specialized Engineering packages we maintain on the Linux computers.  We have also listed some software of interest, included in the RedHat Enterprise Linux 4.0 Distribution.  Some of these packages are not listed with the previous command.
