 +==== Installing Software on Linux ====
 +
 +All servers have the most common software already installed and available. See [[linux_environment_modules|Software Modules]] for more information. Users do not have permission to install software on servers, unless it is installed in one's home directory (and does not require administrator privileges). If a software package is not available, users can submit requests to cshelpdesk@virginia.edu for software to be installed.

 +=== Package installation for Linux ===
 +
 +Software is installed by system admins in the ''%%/sw%%'' filesystem. This is a network filesystem filled with software that has been requested by faculty and students. Environment Modules manage software packages, please read the [[Linux_Environment_Modules|main article on modules]] for more information.
