Software package environments on Monsoon are handled through the environment modules system. An up-to-date list of available modules for software packages is available by issuing the command: `module avail`.

In order to access a particular software that is not normally included with the CentOS Linux distribution, please issue the command:

```bash
module load [software_name]
```

**Interactive use example:**

`bash salloc -N1 -p core -J envi module load envi srun envi`bash
