+===== Which programs should you use? =====
+Your advisor will let you know which (version of which) programs you should use. Some programs are available by default, and you have to use the ''module'' command to access other programs.
+==== Which program am I using? ====
+At any time, you can use the ''which'' command to determine where a program is located. The option to get the //version// information of a program may vary (launch the program without arguments, with ''-v'' or ''%%--%%v'', ...).
+<code> > which ncdump
+/usr/bin/ncdump
+ > ncdump

+==== Using module to access optional programs ====
+Main ''module'' options:
+  * ''module list'': list the currently loaded modules
+  * ''module avail'': list the available modules
+  * ''module load module_a ... module_n'': load modules (automatically including dependencies)
+    * ''module load module_a'': load default version of //module_a//
+    * ''module load module_a/vvv'': load ''vvv'' version of //module_a//
+  * ''module purge'': remove all modules
+Detailed example:
