# Environment modules¶

The user’s environment, and which programs are available for immediate use, is controlled by the module command. Many development libraries are dependant on a particular compiler versions, and at times a specific MPI library. When loading and/or unloading a compiler, module automatically unloads incompatible modules and, if possible, reloads compatible versions.

Currently, not all libraries in all combinations of all compilers and MPI implementations are supported. By using the default compiler and MPI library, these problems can be avoided. In the future, we aim to automate the process so that all possible (valid) permutations are allowed.

Read the applications section for an introduction on how to use modules.
