Ask for software

• Check if the software is already available on Carbon. Either:
  • Browse the Application Catalog, or
  • View the catalog on the Carbon command line:

module avail
module -l avail 2>&1 | less

The second form gives you browsable output.

• State a reason for the request.
• Describe the problem you are trying to solve.
• Provide one or more URLs relevant to the software.
