Editing CommunityData:Hyak migration (ikt to mox) (section)

== Shared environment design ==
We will use [[CommunityData:Hyak-Mox#Custom_modules | custom modules]] to maintain installations of software that we use. Sometimes the hyak team already provides a module that we need (i.e. up-to-date R and Python) then we should prefer these packages so we don't have to do the work of compiling and packaging the modules. But if we want to be on the cutting edge of python and R we'll be in the business. 

Since I (Nate) typically develop code on my laptop before running it on hyak. I think it is ideal if our Hyak environment maintains versions of software that are equivalent to those included in Debian Buster whenever possible. Ideally we will even provide modules for important R and Python packages (e.g. spark, ggplot, pandas) so that we can keep versions consistent and stable over time. 

We'll create a list of packages that people can expect to be loaded in their environments and load them in the shared <code>.bashrc</code>. 

We'll also provide a shared <code>.bash_aliases</code> that provide common commands for interacting with slurm.
