Comment: astro software instructions

...

All centralized astro-software (binaries and source) is placed under /cluster/apps/software /, which should be exported as the environmental variable $SOFTWARE.

#To To use astro-software you should have these lines in your .bashrc# Lines from Bogdan to set-up astro software:
if [ -f

Code Block
if [ -d "/cluster/apps/software/_profile" ]; then
    if [ -z $SOFTWARE ]; then        
 source "/cluster/apps/software/_profile

...

/globals.bash"
    fi
fi
if [ -d "/cluster/apps/software/.profile.d" ]; then
    if [ -z $SOFTWARE ]; then
        source "/cluster/apps/software/

...

.profile.d/

...

To use it, run first "ml ASTRO" to load the ASTRO workspace. This will set environmental variables required for some tools/programs to run.Note: currently only bash shell is supported (SHELL=/bin/bash).
