As an administrator without any experience, I am commissioning a new cluster which has 8 nodes and CentOS7.2. I installed Intel compiler 2017(cluster edition). This compiler was installed on a single file server that is accessible to all nodes of the cluster.After installing the compiler, I noticed the environment has not been set up. On line, some people suggest set environments in /etc/profile and can be shared by all users and nodes. However, the comments in this file strongly not suggest modify it. I checked the settings in my supercomputer account. I did not see any change in this file. I highly appreciate it if you could provide your suggestion or share your experience as an administrator. I hope to realize following goals. 1. set global environment for all users and nodes 2. easy maintenance 3. unless OS change it, the setting do not be changed when upgrade is done. 4. Which variables or PATH should be set to compile LAMMPS, VASP, GROMACS, and other software.I sincerely appreciate your time and interpretation in details.
