Red Hat Enterprise Linux [Liam, please add version]

...

  • To list all available packages:

    • spack find

  • To load a package into your environment:

    • spack load

    • You can specify a software version as part of the load:

    • spack load python@3.7.3 loads Python 3.7.3

  • Once you’ve loaded Python you can use PIP to install necessary modules:

    • python3 -mpip install matplotlib

Apache Hadoop 2.6.0

[Liam, does more need to be said here?]Apache Hadoop is a collection of open-source software utilities that facilitate using a network of many computers to solve problems involving massive amounts of data and computation. It provides a software framework for distributed storage and processing of big data using the MapReduce programming model.

Apache Spark 1.3.1

[Liam, does more need to be said here?]Apache Spark is an open-source distributed general-purpose cluster-computing framework. Spark provides an interface for programming entire clusters with implicit data parallelism and fault tolerance.
