Applications via ITC
There
are several sources within ITC for linux applications and ultilities.
The following applications are available in the mountable /uva/bin
tree, a mountable /contrib/bin tree, or available for installation
on your own machine via CDROM.
The
linux /uva/bin tree
Here
is a partial list of applications/utilities that are in the /uva/bin
tree for linux:
- ansys,
xansys
- ctime
(corporate Time)
- hdquota
(quota information)
- idl*
- jove
(editor)
- *maple,
xmaple (technical software system for symbolic and numeric computation)
- *matlab
( integrated technical computing environment)
- passwd

- perl

The
/linux/i386/glibc2.2 area of jeeves.itc.virginia.edu provides (as
of this writing) access to the following directories familiar from
your acquaintance with blue.unix: /uva (including bin, etc, and
lib), /cfx, /contrib, /RPMS, and a link to StarOffice 6.0. Note
that many of the applications listed above also require mounting
the /common area from jeeves.itc. For technical assistance with
mounting file systems, see Mounting
File Systems (Linux).
The linux
/contrib/bin tree
The
/contrib/bin tree for linux contains applications that are provided
as a service to the UVa community but are not fully supported by ITC.
We list current applications:
Your
Linux system may have its own /contrib directory for locally available
but unsupported applications. As always with Unix/Linux systems, path
makes a difference!
For installation
via CDROM
The
following applications are also available on CDROM for installation
on your machine. The linked pages provide more information on obtaining
the CD, on licensing, and installation issues.
- IDL
(software for data analysis, visualization, and cross-platform application
development)
- Labview
(a graphical programming development environment)
- Maple
(technical software system for symbolic and numeric computation)
- Matlab
(Integrated technical computing environment)
- Mathematica
(Virtual
instrument data acquisition/analysis software)
- Stata
