Info

A text editor (such as nano, vim, emacs, etc.) could have been used to create the .Rprofile file as well.

Some packages depend on other libraries and are harder to be installed locally. For example, sf is a package to deal with spatial (GIS) data. It depends on geos, gdal, and proj. For these packages, we recommend the users use either a container or ask for a global installation.

Global package install

Please submit a ticket with the packages you would like installed and the R version, and the administrators will install it for you.

To submit a MPI slurm job, we created the submit-mpi.slurm file (see code below). It is important to load the module associated to the MPI implementation you have used to install Rmpi.
