Greetings,
We users that would like to use Slicer 3D on our compute cluster which has a virtual desktop. We install apps to a common area that they load via a module system (lmod). Are there any examples of someone else doing this?
Or better yet a doc explaining where to copy all base configurations from and how to set all of the environment variables properly to point to an individual users home/work directory?
Thanks!
It is almost guaranteed not to work if you try to use slicer through modules. That’s because that directory is not writable to ordinary users, which can break a lot of things.
The simplest solution is everyone to run slicer from their own home directory. If you do want to keep everything fixed for everyone, then consider creating a docker image and use that. If you search the forum for SlicerDocker you will find discussion of those.
Ok gotcha. Will mostly likely set up a fresh install in the users /work directory.
