Introduction

Spyder is an interactive Python development environment providing MATLAB-like features in a simple and light-weighted software.

Installed version(s)

This version is installed and currently available

on environment hpc-env/8.3:

*'''Spyder/5.0.0a2'''-foss-2019b-Python-3.7.4

Loading / Using Spyder

To load the desired version of the module, use the command, e.g.

module load hpc-env/8.3
module load Spyder

Always remember: this command is case sensitive!

Since Spider is a package which comes with a graphical user interface, it is mandatory to load it while having an X11 session open (e.g. ssh abcd1234@carl.hpc.uni-oldenburg.de -X). Also, you can run Spyder on our compute nodes, but therefore you must establish an interactive connection with X11 forwarding, preferrably with the srun.x11 script (eg. your/path/to/srun.x11 -p carl.p -n 1).

Either way, the program will start after loading the module with the simple command

spyder
