In this section we will cover various aspects of how the user environment is organised and how it can be controlled by the user. In addition, an overview of the software development environment along with basic compilation instructions will be given. The topics covered will include:
- Environment modules
- Listing software modules
- Loading, unloading and switching modules
- Overview of the installed compilers
- Intel compilers
- GNU compilers
- Basic compilation and program execution
- Compiler flags

If you are not going to be compiling code, but rather using commercial applications such as Matlab, you can skip the sections on compiling code, compiler flags and numerical libraries.
