Using the mttools module

  • Activate the NLPL software repository and load the module:
    module use -a /projappl/nlpl/software/modules/etc         # Puhti
    module use -a /cluster/shared/nlpl/software/modules/etc   # Saga
    module load nlpl-mttools/
  • Module-specific help is available by typing:
    module help nlpl-mttools/20191218

The following scripts are part of this module:
