Software

BioHPC provides most software through the modules system which makes multiple versions of programs and libraries available on the nucles cluster, workstations and thin-clients. You can browse or search the modules available on BioHPC systems using the module browser.

Useful Downloads

If you are using BioHPC systems from a Mac, PC, or Linux machine that is not a BioHPC workstation or thin-client you may want to download some of the following software.

File Transfer

OwnCloud Sync Client - Install the OwnCloud client to automatically synchronise folders on your local PC or Mac to our cloud storage. Works like DropBox, Google Drive etc. Ensure you download the client, not the OwnCloud server package from this link.

FileZilla - FileZilla is an FTP/SFTP client that allows you to transfer large files quickly and easily to BioHPC home, project and work storage space from your Mac or PC.

Cyberduck - Cyberduck is a client that supports WebDav, to access all of your lamella storage space from a Mac when the Mac OSX in-built client does not work.

Command Line Login to Nucleus Cluster
