In others cases, such as 1) highly domain-specific software, 2) largely-untested code, and 3)development versions of software, it may be imprudent to create public /wiki/spaces/RC/pages/45875213 Environment modules. Research Computing admins can still assist by building this software in more personalized locations where they can be executed without the use of the “module load” system.
...
Requests for software installations can be made in a support ticket.
Be sure to include all pertinent information:
software URL
version requirements
plugin requirements
location of downloaded source code (if behind paywall or login, or the filepath file path downloaded to)

Sudo access is reserved explicitly for Research Computing admins. If a software installation attempts to install to a local directory and fails, the answer is not to request more permission to be able to install to a local directory. Instead but instead redirect the installation to a shared storage space, like your HOME directory or group shared storage.
In many cases, tutorials may advise installing packages through a package manager, e.g., dnf or apt ; this is not a practical method in Supercomputer environments (it is practical for workstations, only). The module avail system provides similar functionality making these binaries and libraries available by module load XXXX. In this way you can invoke and compile/use libraries as if they were installed with those package manager.
